Generic Combinations
- 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."]. —
