Hello everyone! Is this identification correct? Another question: Is Chrysotoxum festivum the same as Chrysotoxum arcuatum? Is one a synonym for the other? Size: over 10 mm Date found: 8 July 2026 Habitat: Field track between agricultural fields Location: Nürnberger Land district, approx. 370 m a.s.l., ( 49.49713, 11.32794 ) BeJoCo attached the following image:  [126.72Kb] Best regards Bernd |

Servus Bernd, C. festivum is correct and it's a female. C. arcuatum is a different species with a broad, convex and hairy abdomen Greetings, Eric |

Servus Eric, thank you very much for your identification. I came across information online suggesting that the two species might be the same. It struck me as a bit odd right away. Thanks for clarifying that as well. Best regards Bernd |
