Nomenclature

Genus: MicrodonSubgenus: Microdon (Archimicrodon)
Species:
Microdon (Archimicrodon) digitator Hull
SUMMARY
Archimicrodon was proposed for those Australasian species of Microdon which have antennae short, "quite short and are about as long as in some species of Syrphus", which were considered a primitive character by Hull (1945a, 1949). Some Afrotropical species, like brevicornis Loew, may also belong here (Cheng and Thompson 2008).
