Hello, everyone, I photographed this hoverfly from the genus Chalcosyrphus on 08/07/22 in the Black Forest (Southwest Germany). I estimate the size at 15 mm. Unfortunately I only have bad pictures. Is it still possible to identify the species? Greetings Siggi Siegfried Rudolf attached the following image:  [154.41Kb] Edited by Siegfried Rudolf on 17-08-2022 12:58 |

Hallo Siggi, it's a female Chalcosyrphus valgus, I think. "apex of the hind tibia with a short, but distinct, keel postero-ventrally, terminating in a minute spike, which is distinctly shorter than 1/4 the apical width of the hind tibia"(, rufipes without keel or spike).

Hello Eric, thank you for your determination and explanation. I am attaching another picture that shows the tibia better. You meant this spike, right? Greetings Siggi Siegfried Rudolf attached the following image:  [181.91Kb] |

Yes, that's the spike! And I think we can see the yellow-brown arista instead of dark brown in rufipes as well as a yellow-brown stigma.
Greetings, Eric |
