Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Syrphidae?
#1
Hi all!
Here is unknown fly from Moscow region.

I think this is not syrphid BUT a conopid fly. Conopidae family. The atennas are more longr than any syrphid, and it has a very recurved abdomen. Also wing venation is not caracteristic of syrphidae fly.
But dont trust in me ,because I'm still learning.
very slow, indeed.

Right! It is very similar to
Conops sp.

May be
Conops quadrifasciatus...
Thanx!

Chrysotoxum also has long antennas like this, although I guess this is a Conopid.

It is.
But there are several syrphid genera with long antennas like this. Not only
Chrysotoxum but also
Microdon, Calliceara anbd others.

I think this is a Conopidae: in the wings of the Syrphidae, there is at least a ribbings part parallel to the posterior margin of the wing, not is here.
I think a Conops sp.

Certainly looks like a
Conops quadrifasciatus female.
