Xanthandrus (Androsyrphus) setifemoratus Thompson
Thompson (1981) considered Androsyrphus to be the sister-group of Xanthandrus and he ranked it as a subgenus of Xanthandrus. In the tribe Melanostomatini (Fluke, 1958) many generic names have been based on special modification of the male legs, but most of these have now been reduced to subgenera or synonymized. Thompson (1981) also said that the spinose femora of setifemoratus will be found to be non-sexually dimorphic because this character is not sexually dimorphic in other syrphid genera, and decided to create a new subgenus for this species.
