List Of Hoverfly Species Of Great Britain
The following is a list of hoverfly (Syrphidae) species recorded in Great Britain.
Alan Stubbs and Steven Falk, in their 1983 work British Hoverflies, divided the family into subfamilies and tribes. These subdivisions are now believed to be, to some extent, artificial groupings, not reflecting the evolutionary relationships within the family, and therefore in need of revision. However, as no replacement system is yet in place, these groupings are retained in this list.
The six unnamed species listed in Stubbs and Falk (1983) are not included below.

“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
