Eristalini. Perhaps related to "Brazilian Syrphidae #5" which was identified as Palpada possibly near atrimana. |

Hi, The male of Palpada melanaspis has a mainly black scutellum with a small apicomedian yellow mark, so I don't think it is that species. It does belong to the P. scutellaris-group though (to which P. melanaspis also belongs), but there are several quite similar species in this group (e.g. P. scutellaris, P. erratica, P. doris). Hard to be sure from a picture... |
