Gordon are you working from China. I am from Pakistan and working on Syrphid fly as well.

Thanks Bums I am thinking shifting markings- this surely must be the word for it!

@oceanlis2000: schillerflecken could mean something like sparkling/brilliant markings..imo

Gordon 01 June 2015 00:46:03

oceanlis2000 09 May 2015 12:04:57

Thx Stephane, I see by rather than from- no your English is great!

Stephane Lebrun 09 May 2015 11:53:44

No, I would understand : "Calypters small, the lower one is projecting over the upper one by 3/4" (my english is probably not the best).

oceanlis2000 09 May 2015 10:47:50

Thx Stephane p296 Seguy Calypters small, le thoracique saillant des 3/4 the lower is 3/4 the size or length of the upper? is that how you understand it

Stephane Lebrun 08 May 2015 21:20:06

I assume the sentence talk about calypters (cuillerons) : it means that the lower (thoracic) one is protruding.

oceanlis2000 07 May 2015 14:11:46

Can anyone help out with a translation for le thoracique saillant.. (its not thorax!) Thx
