Sphaerophoria beattiei
Sphaerophoria beattiei is a species of hoverfly belonging to the genus "Sphaerophoria". It is endemic to the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic. It was originally considered the only member of the genus Loveridgeana but was found to be nested within "Sphaerophoria" in a DNA based phylogenetic analysis. It is most closely related to species found in South Africa. Almost nothing is known of its biology other than it pollinated now extinct flora on Saint Helena including the Saint Helena olive.
