Deskripsi
We report the genus Syritta Le Peletier and Audinet-Serville, 1828 (Diptera: Syrphidae) from West Indies for the first time. A female of the synanthropic species Syritta flaviventris Macquart, 1842 was photographed in the Refugio de Vida Silvestre Río Higuamo, Dominican Republic. This species was introduced in the American continent by human expansion.
