| ARTHROPODA | SYRPHIDAE | Cervicorniphora alcicornis (Ferguson, 1926) [Cheng & Thompson (2008) state: Cervicorniphora was described for an Australian Microdon species in which the basoflagellomere "is deeply cleft into two prongs widely separated." However, Hull should have read what Ferguson (1926: 171) wrote of this species, "the antennal structure is most extraordinary, but I do not think sufficient to justify the erection of a new genus, as in all other respects the species is in agreement with other Australian species of Microdon and the antennae are most variable in the genus."] | Generic Combination | Cervicorniphora alcicornis (Ferguson, 1926) | 36 | |
| ARTHROPODA | SYRPHIDAE | Oligeriops chalybeus (Ferguson, 1926) [Cheng & Thompson, 2008 state: Hull in describing Oligeriops does not provide any diagnostic information, only a description. In his key to world genera of Microdontinae (Hull 1949), he uses two characters, the "greatly reduced" size of the eyes, hence, the larger gena, vertex and occiput, and the shape of the basoflagellomere. As noted by Ferguson (1926: 171) in respect to another Australian species with an unusual basoflagellomere (,em>alcicornis Ferguson, type of Cervicorniphora), "the antennae are most variable in the genus" Microdon. He later emphasized this variation by illustrating the antennae of most Australian Microdon species. From those illustrations one can see that at least the antennal structure of ,em>chalybeus is not unique, but common among Australian species] | Generic Combination | Oligeriops chalybeus (Ferguson, 1926) | 41 | |
