Pelecocera and subgenus Chamaesyrphus . The main morphological character distinguishing these subgenera is the shape of phallus, divided in basi- and distiphallus in Chamaesyrphus ( Fig. 14B) and fused in Pelecocera ( Fig. 14F). In the COI gene tree the Nearctic species Pelecocera willistoni was resolved as sister to all Peleococera (including Chamaesyrphus ) ( Fig. 1). To establish the phylogenetic placement of the Nearctic Pelecocera taxa, additional character and taxon sampling is necessary.
