Hi Gerold, I think it's a male Melangyna quadrimaculata. Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

Hallo Eric, thanks for the hint. The legs are colored differently than Melangyna quadrimaculata and there is a third pair of darker spots. gerold attached the following image:  [200.89Kb] |

Hallo Gerold, yes, I've overseen that but I thought the scutellum is too dark for Meligramma. If you put your thread in forum Syrphidae I'm sure you will soon find an expert for these.

Hello Erich, thank you very much for the answer - I have already asked the question in the Syphidae forum, but unfortunately no answer so far. Greetings, Gerold |
