The Bacchini are a tribe of hoverflies. The tribe Bacchini contains a worldwide distribution of over 430 species. They are mostly small elongate flies with black heads and scutellum. Larvae are predatory, mainly upon aphids, like others in the subfamily Syrphinae, itself containing around 1,600 species. They in turn belong to the family Syrphidae with over 6,200 species worldwide.
