Surimyia

There are three myrmecophilous species in this genus. They are small (4– to 5-mm) microdontine flies. Surimyia is the only hoverfly genus with the katatergum lacking microtrichia. In the subfamily Microdontinae, they are distinctive in the absence of pilosity on the postpronotum. Larvae are presumably found in ant nests. They are only known from Suriname.
