Hello, [google translation because my english is not very good !] I would like to identify this hoverfly.  Thierry roy : France : Orly-sur-Morin : 77750 : 31/07/2019 Altitude : 70 m - Taille : 7 à 10 mm non mesuré Réf. : 236885 I think this is the group Platycheirus clypeatus with these elements: - it's a male - shins and tarsi of legs 1 clearly dilated - distinctly yellow / orange spots - head not particularly prominent - all black antennas - There are not 5 to 6 distinct blackheads on the femur 1 (rather, black and fine eyelashes). - only 3 pairs of yellow-orange spots on the abdomen. - Tergites 2 and 3 are not longer than wide. Then, three species seem possible and it is not easy. According to the diagram p.223 of the Verlinden, I tend rather for the true Platycheirus clypeatus, one can probably discard P. ocultus because the base of the femur 1 is not blackened all around. Thank you for your help ! Thierry |
