Well, I'm not convinced! This has other possibilities, and to me the best one is Syrphus nitidifrons male! Characteristics: mouth edge black, rest of face bright yellow, frons shiny black, tibia 3 mainly black, femur 1 with long black hairs (just visible), tergites (presumably) with spots. So to me it's a male S. nitidifrons!  Greetings Edited by Gerard Pennards on 22-05-2008 20:28 Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Yep, they often have a small facial stripe from mouth edge to facial knob, look at this: http://pagesperso-orange.fr/cyrille.dussaix/Syrphus_nitidifrons/S.nitidifrons_illus.html Greetings, Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Here you see a little more face (same specismen as before). So I take it for sure, that this is P. nitidifrons. I have only pictures of it. (P.nitidifrons is not on the Swiss list of 2007.-> wrong. Cor: Syrphus nitidifrons is on the list. Cor. 24.05.2008, sorry)

No, the one I caught is not the same. I'll try again. This is annulatus. isn't it? Maja dipdip attached the following image:  [139.11Kb] Edited by dipdip on 23-05-2008 20:33 |

Because of your second picture I'm quite convinced the first specimen is indeed a male Syrphus nitidifrons. If it wasn't on the Swiss list until now, you've just added it!  Your second picture is more likely to be parasyrphus annulatus. Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
