Sphiximorpha durani, commonly referred to as Duran's wasp fly, is a hoverfly in the family Syrphidae found in the western U.S. states of California and Oregon. These flies are notable for their resemblance to wasps, using a distinctive frontal prominence (head extension) to mimic wasp antennae, aiding their mimicry within the tribe Cerioidini.Evenhuis, N.L. and T.
