Hello here it looks about the same than what Jürgen remarked in Germany: not many common spring Syrphides as Eristalis tenax and Episyrphus balteatus but these - I take them for Melangyna lasiophthalma - am I right? dipdip attached the following image:  [192.76Kb] |

I have found it in Slovenia as well, and other similar species are flying much later. |

Let's wait for a definitive answer.  Do you have better resolution pictures of the head and thorax? |

It's look like Melangyna lasiophtalma. Similar early species looking like M. lasiophtalma are M. lucifera and smaller M.coei. M. lucifera Lukasz Mielczarek attached the following image:  [150.69Kb] Edited by Lukasz Mielczarek on 29-03-2009 11:45 |

Thank you Lucasz Mielczarek! That is interessting. I have never seen lucifera and coei, not even on the Swiss List (of 2007). |
