Palpada agrorum, the Double-banded Plushback, is a common species of syrphid fly first officially described by Fabricius in 1787.

In front of the suture is a conspicuous grayish pollinose broad band, and on each side with an oblique spot reaching from the root of the wing backward toward the scutellum.

The second segment is light yellow, with a narrow median opaque black stripe not quite reaching the hind margin, and a little broader in front.

In the female the second segment of the abdomen is broadly opaque black in the middle, narrower in front and extending as a fascia to the lateral margin of the abdomen behind; the third and fourth segments have each, also, a narrow, interrupted shining fascia, and the lower part of the front is not wholly white pilose.

The wings are hyaline, sometimes faintly clouded in the middle and outer parts.
