Exoprosopa is a genus of beeflies that was identified by Lambkin et al. (2003) as paraphyletic with regard to a number of other genera, though they did not directly report supporting synonymies. Members of this larger group share the possession of a basal antennal stylomere (Lambkin et al. 2003). Species of Exoprosopa proper have antennae with a basal conical flagellomere and an elongated second flagellomere ending in an apical stylus, and pointed pulvilli that resemble teeth at the base of the tarsal claws (Kits et al. 2008).
