Sorry, these are not so good picts, but maybe they're good enough anyway to tell more about the ID ? I think about some Syrphus sp female, maybe S. ribesii ?  (Saint Apollinaire, Burgundy, France - 8th May 2005 - 13 mm long) Edited by Arthropa on 09-03-2007 23:21 Benoit MARTHA  |

Hello Benoit, This is a syrphini allright, but not a Syrphus sp. The thorax is very shiny, suggesting a species of Epistrophe. In this case I think it is a female of E. melanostoma, allthough one should look at the color of the hairs on the scutellum to see the difference with E. nitidicollis.
