Ocyptamus

Ocyptamus is a large and diverse genus of over 200 species of hoverfly mostly found in the Neotropical region.[1][2] It is likely that many of these species will be discovered to be synonyms though many others await description. Also there is some evidence the genus is not monophyletic[3][4] and is paraphyletic with regard to Eosalpingogaster and Toxomerus, and some subgenera have been given full generic status (Hybobathus, Pelecinobaccha, Orphnabaccha, and Pseudoscaeva).[5]

gollark: Consider: there are banks and funds and whatnot with large amounts of money, extremely smart people, and computing power.
gollark: Some offense, but I don't really think you can get *that much* money with a "strat".
gollark: The advice I've heard is just to be extremely boring but practical and shove your money into index funds and such. Not that I have much money to use that on.
gollark: Great?
gollark: I'm also interested, although your stated returns seem implausible.
