Can anyone say what species this syrphid might be? A Helophilus sp. I think, but I can't find one that it matches; closest to H. trivittatus maybe, but probably something else.. 31.5.11 c9mm Isle of Lesbos, Greece (very near coast of Turkey). nick upton attached the following image:  [137.31Kb] Edited by nick upton on 28-09-2011 22:07 Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |

Or could it be a Parhelophilus sp?

Helophilus, I'd say. Perhaps a darkish pendulus?

It is a very dark H. trivittatus female. |

Many thanks Paul and Andre. Looks like my first instinct was right, but the dark form ensured it didn't match any photos I could find. I wonder if that's a regional form for Lesbos/Turkey, but I didn't get any other shots to compare it with.
