Agnisyrphus is a genus of hoverflies (family Syrphidae) that is considered peculiar to the Oriental Region [2]. Within the Western Himalaya of India, the genus is represented by the species Agnisyrphus angara [2]. The type locality for A. angara is Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, India [2].
Based on observations of Agnisyrphus specimens, these hoverflies exhibit typical syrphid characteristics, including a distinct body form often associated with flower-visiting behavior. In the examined imagery, the insects display a slender abdomen and a prominent head with large, compound eyes characteristic of the family [1]. The thorax and abdomen often feature patterned coloration, which is common in many hoverfly genera [1].
