“…Syrphidae are currently divided into four subfamilies: Microdontinae, Eristalinae, Pipizinae and Syrphinae (Mengual et al, 2015). All subfamilies are recovered as monophyletic groups in recent phylogenetic studies with the exception of Eristalinae (Hippa & Ståhls, 2005; Mengual et al, 2015; Moran et al, 2022; Mullens et al, 2022; Pauli et al, 2018; Young, Lemmon, et al, 2016). Microdontine immatures live inside ant nests and feed on ant brood or parasitize them (Pérez‐Lachaud et al, 2014; Reemer, 2013), whereas eristaline larvae are mostly saprophagous (Aracil et al, 2019; Pérez‐Bañón et al, 2003; Rotheray, 1993), but there are also predatory immatures in phytotelmata and in wasp and bee nests (Rotheray, 2003; Rupp, 1989) and phytophagous species that may be agricultural pests (Brunel & Cadou, 1994; Edwards & Bevan, 1951; Ricarte et al, 2017; Souba‐Dols et al, 2020; Tompsett, 2002).…”
