My Palaearctic knowledge is a little useless here in Suriname, so I'm glad to be able to keep it fresh thanks to this forum thread...
First of all it's not a Scaeva species, because of the lack of hairs on the eyes and the not-swollen frons. However, as in Scaeva species, vein R4+5 is somewhat sinuated, suggesting that it is Eupeodes lapponicus. This is supported by the dark frons and the shape of the dust spots on it, and by the yellow abdominal markings, which do not reach the side margins (even the margins of tergite 5 seem to be black).

Thank you Menno and Brain.
Syrphidae look simply for ID, but realy there ID need key as well as others families.

The two flies shown are not conspecific. The 2nd one is indeed a Scaeva and to me it certainly looks like S. pyrastri.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
