Paragodon paragoides is a small (4–5 mm) hoverfly which differs from other hoverflies by its simple male genitalia, and was accordingly considered the most primitive microdontine species.[2] It is the sole member of the genus Paragodon, as the other known species was removed to a separate genus, Surimyia.
Biology
Larvae are presumably found in ant nests.
Distribution
They are native to South America.[2]
