This genus is often colorful and bee-like. It is in the tribe Eristaliini containing dozens of genera
[1] Common sister genera include Eristalis (99 species), Meromacrus (43 sp.), Eristalinus (100 sp.) and Helophilus (50 sp.).
The genus palpada is distinguished by:
Eyes with uniform pile.
Meron with fine pale hairs in front of or below spiracle.
Hind femur with basal patch of dense black setulae.
Cell r2+3 closed before wing margin.
R4+5 moderately to strongly dipped into cell r4+5 .

The larvae are aquatic and have a distinctive shape, usually being referred to as
rat-tailed . The rat-tail is a breathng tube that allows the larvae to live in low oxygen water.
