Xylota segnis, the brown-toed forest fly, is a common species of hoverfly. Etymology The genus name Xylota is the Latinized form of the rare Byzantine-Greek ξυλωτή [xsylōtē] meaning wooden, while the Latin species name segnis means slipping or lazy, as this hoverfly usually rests on a leaf and it does not fly frequently. The translation of the taxon could be "lazy wood fly".
Xylota segnis est une espèce d'insectes diptères brachycères de la famille des syrphidés, de la sous-famille des éristalinés.
