I shot these pictures near Szeged, S. Hungary, on 01.05.2012. My guess is Anasimyia interpuncta, female. Is it possible to ID this fly? Thanks for any help! Henrik |

A female Anasimyia it is, but A. interpuncta closely resembles A. lunulata. A Syrphid expert might be able to tell them apart, but, alas, I am not the right one... Regards, Sundew |

Thanks a lot for your answer! My main reason for suggesting A. inerpuncta was the early date of the photographs. |

A. interpuncta is said to be typically associated with ditches and pools dominated with Reed Sweet-grass (Glyceria maxima), whereas A. lunulata is a species of boggy pools (http://www.flickr...609615289/). Is this statement of any help? |

Thanks again! The place where I found this fly is a remnant pool of occasional floodings of a river (Maros), and probably accumulates some salt during dryer periods, because this fly was accompanied by Eurina ducalis and Lejops vittatus, both prefering "brackish" bodies of water! Unfortunately I cannot remember if there was any Glyceria, but it is quiete probable, because it occurs all along the river Maros! Kind regards, Henrik |
