Hi, Can this syrphid be Scaeva selenitica? Shot on Adonis vernalis (Ranunculaceae) in the Spaeth-Arboretum, Berlin, on 22 April 2007. Thanks for identification, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [191.01Kb] Edited by Sundew on 18-09-2007 21:50 |

Hello no not Scaeva. I think it's Eupeodes luniger female, but I am not an expert. Maja |

I agree with luniger, female. Hope that we are not wrong |

You are right - Scaeva selenitica should be more hairy. I did not know that Eupeodes flies that early, but the description of E. luniger fits quite well, especially the yellow spots not continuing to the abdomen margin, and also the wing venation. If there is no further disagreement, I shall label the photos "Eupeodes luniger". Thanks, Sundew |
