            <p>13 Nearctic (12 Western, 1 Eastern) and 3 Palaearctic species.</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Latreille (1825) first referenced the genus in French vernacular as  Sphecomye based on specimens collected in Carolina by D. Bose. No description was included, nor was a specific epithet assigned to the specimens, thus the name is considered unavailable. Stark (1828) provided a translation from French vernacular as  Sphecomyia , but as it referenced Latreille (1825) it still is not considered available.  Sphecomyia is first made available in Latreille (1829) in which description of the genus is provided. Macquart (1842) designated  Chrysotoxum vittatum Wiedemann as the type species by monotypy. </p>
            <p> In this paper,  Sphecomyia is redefined as the monophyletic unit of species within  Criorhinina that possess the following characters: a bare, medial vitta extending ventrally from the oral margin in both sexes, a bare gena, a bare katepimeron, a scutellum with at least anterior margin densely pruinose, an anterior ventral half of vein C before crossvein h without setae and a narrow intersection of vein R1 with vein C. While the combination of characters used to define  Sphecomyia is unique, the subtribe  Criorhinina is rife with homoplasy and the presence of one or more of these character states without all the others should not be taken as an indication a species belongs in  Sphecomyia . </p>
            <p> Brachymyia Williston, 1882 and  Eurhinomallota Bigot, 1882 are newly synonymized with  Sphecomyia as the type species of both genera fall within this definition and are combined with it as a result of this change. This decision is further supported  by molecular evidence showing a close relationship with  Sphecomyia , i.e., the present COI gene tree and a multi-gene molecular phylogeny of the  Criorhinina which will be presented in an upcoming paper. It is the authors opinion that combination with  Sphecomyia , as opposed to resurrecting the concept as a monotypic genus, serves to emphasize its relationship with the group. </p>
            <p> There are three major, monophyletic lineages of  Sphecomyia . The vittata group, composed of the species with pruinose vittae on the scutum, i.e., S.  brevicornis ,  S. interrupta sp. n.,  S. sexfasciata Moran sp. n.,  S. vespiforme , and  S. vittata . Secondly, the  pattonii group comprised of species with broadened fore tarsi and without pruinose vittae on the scutum, i.e.,  S. aino (Stackelberg, 1955),  S. cryptica Moran sp. n.,  S. dyari ,  S. hoguei Moran sp. n.,  S. oraria Moran sp. n.,  S. pattonii ,  S. pseudosphecomima Moran sp. n.,  S. tsherepanovi (Violovitsh, 1973), and  S. weismani Moran sp. n. The third group comprises only one species,  Sphecomyia metallica , which has a completely pruinose scutum.  S. metallica shares several characters with the vittata group. It has elongated surstyli, with a rounded baso-ventral lobe, reminiscent of the vittata group and it lacks the broadened fore tarsi of the  pattonii group. Morphological characters of  Sphecomyia are discussed in greater detail in the morphology section (see below). </p>
            <p> Also of note, Shatalkin (1975) redefined  Brachymyia as representing the species of  Criorhina which lack a ventral scutellar fringe and possess hypopleural pile. The type of  Brachymyia ,  Sphecomyia metallica , does not fit this generic definition as it has a ventral scutellar fringe and lacks hypopleural pile. Neither  Criorhina berberina (Fabricius, 1805) nor the other species Shatalkin combined with  Brachymyia are closely related to the type. Definitions of other criorhinine genera might change after this work. </p>

            <p>Similar to male except normal sexual dimorphism.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Far Eastern Russia including Sakhalin Island and westerly into Eastern Siberia (Fig. 24).</p>
            <p>Biology.</p>
            <p> Collected visiting flowers of  Cornus alba (L.) Opiz,  Weigela middendorffiana C. Koch,  Rhododendron aureum Georgi, and  Rhododendron dauricum L. Known to hilltop. Recorded flying in June and July. </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Two morphospecies are recognized in the  Sphecomyia aino complex,  S. aino from continental East Palaearctic and S. tsherepanovi from the Japanese and Kuril Islands.  Sphecomyia aino are silver-yellow pruinose with mostly pale pile on their an  tennal segments and ocellar triangle.  Sphecomyia tsherepanovi are silver-white pruinose with mostly black pile on their antennal segments and ocellar triangle. Additionally, the two populations were found to possess differently shaped dorsal horn on their basiphallus (Fig. 2A, L). We argue that these character differences, along with the 3% difference in the DNA barcode between the two taxa, especially considering that the mainland population has little to no variation in COI even across distances greater than 3000 km, are significant enough to warrant separation into two distinct species. </p>
            <p> Of note are a male and female pair of specimens collected together in mainland Russia. Both possess characters associated with  S. tsherepanovi . They are silver-white pruinose. The female is fully black pilose on its antennal segments and ocellar triangle, while the male is mixed pale and black pilose on these regions. The basiphallus of the male is identical to that of Fig. 2A. Both were barcoded, with Folmer regions identical to  S. aino recovered. We consider this pair aberrant and not representative of  S. aino . The male appears teneral as its exoskeleton is light brown in color. The female has a completely black pilose scutum and face along with a mixed pale and black pilose scutellum. These characters are not seen in another specimen of either species and may be indicative of a mutation. It is also is possible the female is teneral. Lending support to this hypothesis is communication with Russian  Syrphidae researcher Valery Mutin who indicates all local specimens he collected fit the typical  S. aino morphospecies concept. Still it is possible, though unlikely, that these specimens indicate that the mainland species is more variable than we have come to believe. </p>

            <p>U.S.A.: Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, and Montana. Canada: Alberta and British Columbia (Fig. 23). Extends south from southern British Columbia, as well as the southeastern corner of Alberta, through the coastal and mountainous areas of Washington state, through Oregon and into the Sierra Nevada and midcoastal regions of California. Also known from forested regions of northern Idaho and western Montana.</p>
            <p>Biology.</p>
            <p> Collected visiting flowers of  Vaccinium L. sp.,  Phacelia Juss. sp.,  Ceanothus L. sp. and  Berberis aquifolium Pursh. Recorded flying late April through late July, with one outlier in late August. </p>
            <p> Remarks . </p>
            <p> Sphecomyia brevicornis shows intraspecific variation on sternites 2 to 4. Northern specimens (i.e. Washington, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana) possess larger non-pruinose, shiny areas on these sternites (Fig. 21G). On Californian specimens these sternites are more pruinose (Fig. 21H). In Oregon there are apparent intermediates of the two states. Californian specimens can be, but are not always, weakly pruinose on the anepimeron, as opposed to the shiny anepimeron found in most. No other morphological characters to distinguish between the two populations were found. Two barcodes for  S. brevicornis were recovered. One from an Alberta specimen and one from a California specimen. The two were 1.3% different, however, neither barcode was complete with the Albertan one missing data at both ends of the sequence and the Californian one missing the middle B fragment. Additional and complete sequences of both the northern and southern morphotypes of  S. brevicornis are needed to determine whether a gradient exists or whether two discrete clusters are resolved. </p>

            <p>Description.</p>
            <p> Male. Body length: 11.9-14.2 mm. Wing length: 8.9-10.7 mm. Head. Face yellow pruinose with shiny, black, medial vitta extending from oral margin to base of antenna; frons broad, about as long as broad at antenna, two-thirds as broad at vertex as at antenna, bare, with yellow pruinosity along posterior third; vertex tri  angular , longer than broad, shiny, with ocellar triangle black pilose; postocular border yellow pruinose; postocular pile black; occipital pile yellow; male narrowly dichoptic; antenna black, black pilose, length of segments roughly in a 3:3:2 ratio. </p>
            <p>Thorax. Sub-shiny black; postpronotum yellow pilose; scutum yellow pilose, except with black pile posteromedially; scutellum mostly yellow pilose with occasional black pile; postalar callus, proepimeron, posterior anepisternum yellow pilose; posterior katepisternum yellow pilose with broadly separated patches; anterior anepimeron yellow pilose; metasternum yellow pilose; postpronotum, anterior fourth of scutellum, broad posterior margin of anepisternum and dorso-posterior corner of katepisternum yellow pruinose; area between postpronota weakly yellow pruinose, except shiny medially; anepimeron shiny; scutum without pruinose vittae; ventral calypter with long yellow pile.</p>
            <p>Legs. Foreleg black, except extreme apex of femur and anterior third of tibia reddish-yellow; fore tarsi slightly broadened; midleg reddish-yellow, except last two tarsomeres black; hind leg reddish-yellow, except last two tarsomeres black; legs yellow pilose, except, fore tibia, fore tarsi, extreme apex of fore femur and last two mid and hind tarsomeres black pilose; hind coxa yellow pruinose.</p>
            <p>Wing. Hyaline; microtrichia absent from following areas: cell bc; cell r1 from base to about halfway to crossvein r-m; broad basal portion of cell br (before origin of M) and about basal two-fifths of narrower portion of this cell (caudad of spurious vein only); cell bm, except apex and narrow anterior and posterior margins of about apical fourth; broad anterior margin of cell cua; narrow, elongate, oval area proximal to vein A1.</p>
            <p>Abdomen. Tergites and sternites shiny to sub-shiny, black with yellow pruinose markings as follows: tergite 1 pruinose along posterior margin; tergite 2 with broad, interrupted, truncate medial band which meets a narrow, uninterrupted posterior band in the posterolateral corners of tergite; tergite 3 with similar medial band, but more narrowly interrupted; pattern on tergite 4 same as tergite 3 except medial band very narrowly or incompletely interrupted; sternite 1 shiny; sternites 2 to 4 almost completely pruinose, with a triangular region of non-pruinosity posteromedially; sternites 6 to 8 pruinose; pile of abdomen yellow, except sometimes with scattered black pile present on postabdomen.</p>
            <p>Male genitalia. Surstylus elongated, about twice as long as broad, curving upward dorsally; pile on dorsal surface of surstylus, increasing in length posteriorly; minute spines on ventral surface, with apical three-fourths of lateral inter surface also with spines; basal fourth of the ventral surface of the surstylus produced into a lobe directed anteriorly, with no minute pubescence present; cerci rounded, with invagination on posterior border; aedeagus as in Fig. 2D.</p>
            <p>Female.</p>

            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>U.S.A.: Oregon (Fig. 25). Restricted to the Oregon portion of the Cascade Range.</p>
            <p> Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Greek kryptos (Brown 1956: 241), which means hidden or secret and references the difficulty of distinguishing this species from  S. dyari and  S. pattonii . </p>
            <p> Biology . </p>
            <p> Cole and Lovett (1921) misidentified specimens Lovett collected as  S. pattonii . Lovett noted he observed them "entirely in the forenoon, occurring just at the edge of clearings and flying swiftly, close to the ground, resting occasionally in low growing shrubbery at the very edge of dense forests". They have been collected visiting flowers of  Prunus virginiana var. demissa (Nutt. ex Torr. and A. Gray) Torr. A specimen collected by Bridwell notes it was collected in the sup-alpine region. Recorded flying June through August. </p>

            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Sphecomyia metallica is not easily confused with any other congeneric as it is the only species which is long pilose and also completely pruinose on the scutum and scutellum. </p>
            <p>Redescription.</p>
            <p>Male. Body length: 9.2-13.2 mm. Wing length: 7.9-10.7 mm. Head. Face silver pruinose with shiny, black, medial vitta extending from oral margin to tubercle; frons broad, about as long as broad at antenna, as broad at vertex as at antenna, pale pilose and silver pruinose; vertex polygonal, slightly longer than broad, silver pruinose, with ocellar triangle pale pilose; postocular border silver; postocular and occipital pile pale; broadly dichoptic in male; antenna black, pale pilose, length of segments roughly in a 3:3:2 ratio.</p>
            <p>Thorax. Black; long pilose; postpronotum, scutum, scutellum, postalar callus, proepimeron, posterior anepisternum pale pilose; posterior katepisternum pale pilose with broadly separated patches; anterior anepimeron pale pilose; metasternum pale pilose; postpronotum, mesonotum, broad posterior margin of anepisternum, dorso-posterior corner of katepisternum and anepimeron silver pruinose.</p>
            <p>Legs. Foreleg black, except extreme apex of femur and anterior third of tibia reddish-yellow; mid and hind leg similar; tarsi not modified; leg pale pilose; hind coxa silver pruinose.</p>
            <p>Wing. Hyaline; wing completely microtrichose.</p>
            <p>Abdomen. Tergites and sternites shiny to sub-shiny, black with silver pruinosity as follows: tergite 1 completely silver pruinose; tergite 2 weakly silver pruinose; tergite 3 weakly silver pruinose along margins with thin, interrupted medial band; tergite 4 as tergite 3; sternites 1 to 4 completely silver pruinose; pile of abdomen long, pale.</p>
            <p> Male genitalia. Surstylus elongated, about  2½ times as long as broad, apex acute, with rounded curve, directed ventrally; pile on dorsal surface of surstylus, increasing in length posteriorly; minute spines on ventral surface and apical three-fourth of lateral inner and outer surface; basal fourth of the ventral surface of the surstylus produced into a lobe directed ventrally, with minute pubescence on ventral and lateral inner surface; cerci rounded, with conspicuous invagination on posterior border; aedeagus as in Fig. 2H. </p>
            <p>Female.</p>
            <p>Similar to male except normal sexual dimorphism and as follows: medial facial vittae extends past tubercle to terminate just below antenna.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>U.S.A.: California, Oregon (Fig. 26). Mostly restricted to California, with a short extension into coastal Oregon.</p>
            <p>Biology.</p>
            <p> Associated with lowland  Arctostaphylos Adans. sp., more commonly known as manzanitas or bearberries. The plant ranges from small shrubs to trees of over 6 m. It has small, clustered, bell-shaped, pink or white flowers. Also collected on flowers of  Ribes sanguineum Pursh and  Ribes menziesii Pursh. Due to their unusual flight period of December through mid-April, more research is necessary to reveal the true distribution of the species. </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p>Although the type locality is listed as Mexico, the authors believe that the type is from current-day California as it was collected prior to 1848 when the state was still part of Mexico.</p>
            <p> Contrary to the previous treatment,  Eurhinomallota metallica Bigot, 1882 is senior to  Brachymyia lupina Williston, 1882.  Bigot’s name was published in the bimonthly Bulletin de la  Société entomologique de France in March of 1882.  Williston’s name was published in the April 1882 issue of the Canadian Entomologist. The improper treatment arose because the Bulletin itself was obscure until recently, with the Annales de la  Société entomologique de France, the annually published compilation, taken as the date of publication for many species. </p>
            <p> The combination of  Eurhinomallota with  Sphecomyia is supported by the type  species’ possession of all characters used to distinguish  Sphecomyia from other  Criorhinina . This decision is further supported by molecular evidence showing a close relationship with  Sphecomyia , i.e., the present COI gene tree (Fig. 27) and a multi-gene molecular phylogeny of the  Criorhinina which will be presented in an upcoming paper. It is the authors opinion that combination with  Sphecomyia , as opposed to resurrecting the concept as a monotypic genus, serves to emphasize its relationship with the group. </p>

            <p>Biology.</p>
            <p> Collected on flowers of  Acer spicatum Lam.,  Alliaria petiolata (M. Beib.) Cavara and Grande,  Corema (D. Don) sp.,  Cornus florida L.,  Crataegus marshallii Eggl.,  Sassafras albidum (Nutt.) Nees,  Prunus gracilis Engelm. and A. Gray,  Prunus serotina Ehrh.,  Prunus virginiana L.,  Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott,  Physocarpus opulifolius (L.) Maxim.,  Symplocos Jacq. sp.,  Corus sp.,  Viburnum cassinoides L.,  Viburnum lentago L.,  Viburnum prunifolium L., and  Viburnum rafinesquianum Schult. Also collected at  Acer L. sap runs. Usually collected in deciduous woods, often near a stream or river, but has also been taken in sphagnum bog. One female has been collected in leaves at base of a hardwood tree. </p>
            <p>Known hilltopper. Authors have personally observed specimens flying in a lazy-S-type pattern similar to that of wasps. Recorded flying early March through late July.</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Desmarest (1848) assigned the name  Sphecomyia boscii to the specimens Latreille used to establish  Sphecomyia . The name was forgotten until its rediscovery in  Evenhuis and Thompson (1990). We do not assign a neotype as it is uncertain if the series is lost. It is not listed among the MNHN types, nor did the primary author encounter it during a visit to the collection. </p>
            <p> COI barcoding recovered two clusters of  S. vittata with a  maximum barcode divergence barcode of 2.41%. Specimens of both clusters were compared, and no morphological differences were found. </p>

            <p>Abdomen. Tergites and sternites shiny to sub-shiny black; with yellow pruinose markings as follows: tergite 1 pruinose along posterior margin; tergite 2 with broad, interrupted, truncate medial band which meets a narrow, uninterrupted posterior band in the posterolateral corners of tergite; tergite 3 with similar medial band, but more narrowly interrupted; pattern on tergite 4 same as tergite 3 except medial band very narrowly or incompletely interrupted; sternite 1 shiny; sternites 2 to 4 almost completely pruinose, with a triangular region of non-pruinosity posteromedially; sternites 6 to 8 pruinose; pile of abdomen and postabdomen yellow.</p>
            <p>Male genitalia. Surstylus not elongated, about as long as broad, curving downward ventrally; pile on dorsal and apical fourth of lateral outer surface of surstylus; minute spines on ventral surface, with apical half of lateral inner surface also with spines; basal fourth of the ventral surface of the surstylus produced into a lobe directed anteriorly, with minute pubescence on ventral and lateral inner surface; cerci rounded, with no invagination on posterior border; aedeagus as in Fig. 2O.</p>
            <p>Female.</p>
            <p>Similar to male except normal sexual dimorphism.</p>
