This paper describes 11 of 18 new species recognised in the recent book, "Field Guide to the Flower Flies of Northeastern North America". Four species are omitted as they need to be described in the context of a revision (three and a species) and three other species (one and two ) will be described by F. Christian Thompson in a planned publication. Six of the new species have been recognised for decades and were treated by J. Richard Vockeroth in unpublished notes or by Thompson in his unpublished but widely distributed "A conspectus of the flower flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) of the Nearctic Region". Five of the 11 species were discovered during the preparation of the Field Guide. Eight of the 11 have DNA barcodes available that support the morphology.
New species treated in this paper include: Locke, Skevington and Vockeroth (Smooth-legged Swamp Fly), Locke, Skevington and Vockeroth (Small-spotted Swamp Fly), Moran and Skevington (Plain-winged Sapeater), Moran and Skevington (Somber Sapeater), Vockeroth, Moran and Skevington (Pale-bristled Logsitter), Microdon (Microdon) scauros Skevington and Locke (Big-footed Ant Fly), Locke, Skevington and Greene (Fattig's Ant Fly), Skevington and Moran (Spotted Fen Fly), Moran and Skevington (Fee's Mucksucker), Locke, Young and Skevington (Black Haireye) and Vockeroth and Young (Coastal Psyllid-killer). Common names follow the "Field Guide to the Flower Flies of Northeastern North America" (Skevington et al. 2019).
本文描述了近期出版的《北美东北部花蝇野外指南》中18个新物种中的11个。有4个物种因需要在修订的背景下进行描述（3个 和1个 物种）而被省略，另外3个物种（1个 和2个 ）将由F. 克里斯蒂安·汤普森在计划出版的文献中进行描述。其中6个新物种已被确认数十年，J. 理查德·沃克罗思在未发表的笔记中对其进行了处理，或者汤普森在其未发表但广泛传播的《新北界花蝇（双翅目：食蚜蝇科）概览》中对其进行了处理。这11个物种中有5个是在编写《野外指南》的过程中发现的。这11个物种中有8个有DNA条形码，可支持其形态学特征。
本文所处理的新物种包括：Locke、Skevington和Vockeroth（光腿沼泽蝇）、Locke、Skevington和Vockeroth（小斑沼泽蝇）、Moran和Skevington（平翅食木蝇）、Moran和Skevington（暗色食木蝇）、Vockeroth、Moran和Skevington（淡鬃木栖蝇）、Microdon（Microdon）scauros Skevington和Locke（大脚蚁蝇）、Locke、Skevington和Greene（法蒂格蚁蝇）、Skevington和Moran（斑点沼蝇）、Moran和Skevington（费氏吸泥蝇）、Locke、Young和Skevington（黑鬃眼蝇）以及Vockeroth和Young（海岸木虱杀手）。通用名称遵循《北美东北部花蝇野外指南》（Skevington等人，2019年）。
