Spheginobaccha de Meijere 1908 is a rare genus of hover flies, restricted to the Afrotropical and Oriental regions. Only eight species are known from the Afrotropics, of which only three are known from both sexes. The recent discovery of a female Spheginobaccha pamela Thompson and Hauser 2015 specimen as well as recent collections of the species in South Africa brings this number to four. We present photographs and taxonomic notes on the female of Spheginobaccha pamela for the first time.
