Looks like a Platycheirus cf occultus, female. |

Thanks Andre! It's really the correct species. What are the characters for identification? Roberto |

Area behind the ocelli shiny (not silverish dusted), spots on tergites about half the length of the tergites, legs with only black ring on tibia (variable character). According to Fauna Italia it doesn't occur in Italy, but according Fauna Europaea it does... http://www.faunaeur.org/full_results.php?id=65931 Edited by Andre on 03-10-2009 14:46 |
