Pygocalcager is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.[3] Currently only one member of the genus has been described, Pygocalcager humeratum, which is endemic to New Zealand and was originally described as Calcager humeratum by Hutton in 1901.[2] This was moved to its own genus in 1935 by Charles Henry Tyler Townsend.[1]
