Rhoga is a genus of hoverflies, with five known species. [1] All are small, delicate, pale yellowish flies, with distinct black pilose brushes on their metatibiae. These flies are probably mimics of stingless bees of the tribe Meliponini. [2]
Larvae are found in ant nests.
They are native to the Neotropics. [2]
