Hello!

Can somebody help me?
We found that species in June on herbaceous area.

Am I right, when i say this is not eupodes.
Calypter with hair.
Wing cell bm just partly trichose.
Anterior anepisternum is also bare.

Which species could it be?

my non-expert opinion: it looks like Eupeodes (corollae).

Thanks Jürgen,

you are right.
I also think it's Eupeodes now.
I think I misinterpreted the key, because calypter has hair, but only on the fringe. (can somebody confirm this assumtion?)

Hello pengie,

Jurge is correct. The only Eupeodes or Syrphus with such a large terminalia visible from above is E. corollae.

There are always hairs on the somewhat thicker edge of the calypter, yes. They are positioned in a fringe pointing outwards. Syrphus sp. have hairs on top of the calypter pointing upwards.

Greetings,

Ectemnius
