 Hi all,

I'm new on this forum and a beginner concerning Syrphidae.

Is this male a Scaeva selenitica? Photo taken in central Switzerland near Lucerne, altitude 1340 m, July 3rd 2009.

Thanks

Uli

 Given the broad angle between the eyes and the spots which do not reach lateral margin of abdomen, I am confident with Scaeva selenitica.
Stephane.
