I found this syrphid in Oporto, Portugal on the 16th of February, 2008. Is an identification possible?   |

Platycheirus scutatus-group, probably Scutatus. Please collect all scutatus  |

Platycheirus scutatus definitely. It's not either one of the others recently described in this complex, e.g. P. aurolateralis nor P. splendidus. colour of frons, above the antennae the same as on the face, contrary to both species mentioned above. John |

Thanks for the confirmation John. And thank you for letting me know the characteristics that differentiate the different species. |
