Archimicrodon is a genus of hoverflies. Many of the species in this genus were moved from Microdon by Reemer & Ståhls (2013).[1] Previously, it had been described as having three known species.[2]

Biology

Larvae are found in ant nests.

Distribution

All currently known species are found in the Old World tropics.

Species

The species are divided into two subgenera: Archimicrodon Hull, 1945 and Hovamicrodon Keiser, 1971.
