Hello,

Could it be Eupeodes ? and is it possible to go to species level ?

Loire-Atlantique, western France, May 28 2011.

Hello Patrick,

For me it's a Eupeodes.

Sympa ta photo

Many Thanks Pierre !! Is it possible to go further ?

Merci Beaucoup Pierre !!! à ton avis est-il possible d'aller jusqu'à l'espèce ?

Hi Patrick,
If I could see the Alula.
(1) - alula partly bare, partly covered with microtrichia ==> E. nielseni
(2) - alula entirely covered with microtrichia ==> E. luniger
(1) la partie nue de l'alula, en partie couverte avec microtriches
(2) l'alula entièrement recouverte de microtriches.

However the mark on the last tergite reminds me of E. corollae
Néanmoins la marque sur le dernier tergite me fait penser à [u]E. corollae

What do you think ? Qu'en penses tu ?

---

Hi Pierre,

In fact I asked Cyrille Dussaix who thinks as you do : E. corollae !!!

Hi Patrick,

This is excellent news, this is super great !

Best regards
