Can anyone suggest a genus for these Syrphidae? Both flies collected at light, Townsville, Queensland. gvcT02829a Edited by Graeme Cocks on 12-02-2016 00:53 |

Probably Ornidia obesa, originally from tropical America. |

Mine lacks the dark streaks on the wings though, going by pictures on the web. |

Certainly not Ornidia, wing venation indicates Eristalini. I'm not very familiar with the Australian fauna, but this might be the genus Austalis. |

Yes, Menno is right, it is Austalis sp. I have some specimens from you Graeme, and I identified the genus, but not the species yet.
