Hello, I found this specimen in the Botanical Garden of Berlin at 18-Jul-2023. Based on foto comparisons I assume it is Spilomyia manicata, but I am not sure. Could you please have a look? Thank you and best regards Frank FrankAeckersberg attached the following image:  [267.08Kb] Edited by FrankAeckersberg on 29-12-2023 23:38 |

According to Bot&Meutter 2023, the third yellow band on the abdomen is uninterrupted in manicatum and interrupted in saltuum, and the former has long haisr on the top of the scutum whereas the latter has short hairs. Do you have a side view? Karsten Edited by Karsten Thomsen on 31-12-2023 14:37 |

Thank you, Karsten! Unfortunately, I have only this picture. The Syrphidae flew away after I took this picture. |

based in the colour if front leg, this clearly is manicata. Manicata can have narrowly interrupted yellow bands on tergites. Theo |

Congratulations with the find, Frank. We used to have the species in Zealand, Denmark, but the latest find is from 1846... Karsten |
