'''''Xylota''''' is a [[Holarctic]] [[genus]] of [[hoverflies]]<ref>{{cite book|author1=Stubbs, Alan E.  |author2=Falk, Steven J. |name-list-style=amp |year=1983 |title=British Hoverflies: An Illustrated Identification Guide|pages=253, xvpp |publisher=British Entomological & Natural History Society}}</ref> similar in structure to the related genera ''[[Chalcosyrphus]]'' and ''[[Brachypalpoides]]''. As the larvae are [[saprophytic]] they're usually found in rotting wood. The adult flies are generally associated with woodland and woodland edges and can often be seen running over the upper sides of leaves. Unlike other syrphids the adults of many species rarely visit flowers preferring instead to gather pollen from leaf surfaces.
There are over 100 described species of which 12 can be found in [[Europe]]. Seven species have been recorded in [[Great Britain|Britain]]. Identification of species has been difficult and identification by photographs is risky.<ref name="Shannon1926"/>
