Hi Victor, P. noctiluca is descriped in Netherlandic in the Fotogids Zweefvliegen (André Schulten):
- face all black hairs
- abdomen black or with 2 yellow patches on tergite 2
- hind femur thickened
- first segment of fore tarsus pale, the others dark
- male wings transparent - female's with a slightly dark patch
