Chalcosyrphus (Xylotomima) nemorum (Fabricius 1805), the Dusky-banded Leafwalker, is a common species of syrphid fly with a Palearctic and Nearctic distribution. Hoverflies get their names from the ability to remain nearly motionless while in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found around and on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen.

Chalcosyrphus nemorum es una especie de mosca sírfida. Se distribuyen por el Holártico en Eurasia y Norteamérica. Las larvas se encuentran en madera en descomposición, bajo el agua.
