The owner of the pics ("Gabi" ) has agreed that these are shown here in this forum. Any comments? Found 11. March 2007 in the Kaiserstuhl region (SW-Germany, a rather warm region). Cheers - martin diphascon attached the following image: [39.1Kb]

According to Chv?la (l.c.) both Myopa flavescens MEIGEN, 1824 and Dalmannia flavescens ROBINEAU-DESVOIDY, 1830 are Synonyms of Dalmannia dorsalis (FABRICIUS, 1794) Greetings Günter Schwendinger

The German Checklist (1999) is in accordance with Chvala and mentions flavescens as a synonym of dorsalis. So I'm going to call this Dalmannia dorsalis . Thanks for helping! - martin
