Hi, this weekend I caught a Platycheirus, but I'm not shure which one. My key said P. maniculatus, but I'm not sure.. I also thought about P. tarsalis (but I think this is incorrect.) Size: 9mm Upper side is with 3 pair of bright yellow spots. (I photographed the under side because of the visibility of the tarses.) Does anyone know? http://farm4.stat...dc32_o.jpg http://farm4.stat...f28d_o.jpg Thanks a lot. Jonas Edited by jonas on 29-04-2008 16:54 |

Well, not too much to go on, but if the mouth edge is projecting like this and the shape of the tars 1 is as the picture shows, it could very well be Platycheirus manicatus (so not manicULatus).. It should have 4 pair of large yellow spots on a broad abdomen and furthermore a dull thoracic dorsum! Greetings, Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Hi, this is a picture of the upper side, maybe it helps.. The abdomen is a bit curled, so it must be a bit broader. http://farm4.stat...2fc7_o.jpg (luckely I collected this one - something I don't do much  )bye, Jonas |

Yep, it's him allright! If you collect something you can't identify, I'd be willing to do so if you send me the specimens. In that case you can send me a privata message for the adress! Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
