Location: Midwest Sweden (Dalsland) Date: 2008-JUL-19 The eyes are not hairy on this female Syrphus sp. Can she be identified? crex attached the following image:  [179Kb] Edited by crex on 17-08-2008 12:24 |

The hairs at the tip of femur 3 are looking a bit dark (the hairs in the yellow part of the femur), so I'd guess it's ribesii. To be really sure, we'd need a pornographically close shot  |

To be really sure, we'd need a pornographically close shot Thanks. I have a few other shots of this one. Shall I look for details of the tip of femur 3 or do you mean the genitalia!?   |

Another pic. Amalia, I think you are right that female S. ribesii should have a yellow third femur. My key asks for microtrichia on the wing, so I'm lost there ...

I forgot to mention. I enlarged the photo to see the hairs on last femur, but I can only see the yellowish hairs on the inner part. The outer part seems to be bare. |
