Body length: 7–10 mm. Stingless bee mimicking flies with short to moderately long antennae and oval to triangular abdomen. Head slightly wider than thorax. Face convex; narrower than an eye. Lateral oral margins not produced. Vertex narrow, in most species convexly produced and shining, flat in some species. Occiput narrow over entire length, except ventrally strongly widened in Hypselosyrphus ulopodus. Eye with short, sparse pile. Eye margins in male strongly converging at level of frons, with mutual distance smaller than width of antennal fossa, except 3 times as wide in Hypselosyrphus ulopodus. Antennal fossa about as wide as high. Antenna as long as or shorter than distance between antennal fossa and anterior oral margin; basoflagellomere shorter to longer than scape, oval; bare. Postpronotum pilose. Scutellum semicircular, triangular or apicomedially sulcate; without calcars. Anepisternum without or with weak sulcus; pilose anterodorsally and posteriorly, widely bare in between. Anepimeron entirely pilose. Katepimeron convex; bare. Wing: vein R4+5 without posterior appendix; vein M1 perpendicular to vein R4+5; postero-apical corner of cell r4+5 rectangular, with small appendix; crossvein r-m located between basal 1/8 to 1/4 of cell dm. Abdomen oval or kite-shaped, 1.2 to 2 times as long as wide. Tergites 3 and 4 fused. Sternite 1 pilose. Male genitalia: phallus furcate near apex, with dorsal process in some species a little longer than ventral process; epandrium with or without ventrolateral ridge.

Described species: 11. Descriptions of five additional species are in preparation by the first author. Hypselosyrphus is known from Panama, the Amazon region and southern Brazil. Considering the small number of specimens known, it seems likely that the genus is widespread in tropical South America.
