I am not confident with my identification of a hoverfly. I've cropped the hoverfly from my photo. I only have dorsal view. I've found some keys in a pdf file: https://repository.si.edu/bitstream/handle/10088/18922/ent_FCT_77.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y here are the keys: Parhelophilus frutetorum Occiput dorsally with row of long black pile face profile straight costa with golden pile restricted basally, not extending to humeral crossvein Parhelophilus versicolor Occiput entirely yellow pilose face profile convex costa with extensive golden pile basally, extending beyond humeral crossvein my assessment: I see dark hairs around the area that should be the occiput. I see something golden near what should be the costa but is it pile? I think that this hoverfly is Parhelophilus frutetorum. Will an expert please weigh in? johnes81 attached the following image:  [79.03Kb] |
