Your first picture shows a female Dideopsis aegrotus, your second is a female Asarkina sp.

Gerard Pennards, I think N.2 is the Asarkina ericetorum (Fabricius)

Hello Martin Hauser,
I am sure the N. 2 is not an Episyrphus. Thanks.

I think Martin is right: no. 2 is an Episyrphus...

Again, dried & properly mounted specimens will help to reduce confusion and help identification Smile

Yes, I also think Martin is right, nr. 2 looks more like a Episyrphus after a second look! What species of Episyrphus do you have in that region?

Ok, I am sorry i am wrong.
Gerard Pennards, only Episyrphus balteata was recorded in that region.
