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 ?

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.
Greetings,

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
