Can anyone suggest a genera. The legs are really a feature of this fly. The white is actually very iridescent. Graeme Cocks attached the following image:  [69.47Kb] |

Assistance please? I can't put more than one picture into a post. This post for instance should have had two pictures, but I only get the last picture to display. Graeme |

It's OK Graeme - that's the way the system works. If you want another photo just reply to your own post, as you did above  The only way to have 2 or more photos in a post are to <IMG> link them in from an outside website but that's frowned upon here because it is too each for the remote photos to me moved or deleted and then it makes the thread here meaningless Is it my imagination or has the colour palette on your photos been compressed too much? The colours look very blocky and flat.

Hi Chris, thanks for the advise. Your comments re my 'photo' is quite reasonable. All my pictures are taken by a flatbed scanner, a HP 8200. It does a wonderful job usually, but has trouble with the gamma in certain colours, as you have observed. Being a contributor to BOLD means I have to concentrate on volume rather than quality and scanners are mobs quicker. Graeme |

Hey Graeme, Yes, it's a male Eumerus sp. If you would put it in the box I could probably identify it. Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Graeme, If you have a chance, can try to determinate this species by: Paramonov S.J. Notes on Australian Diptera. XXIV. Key to Australian Eumerus species (Syrphidae) // Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. — 1957. — Vol. 12, No. 10. — P. 125–128. From our Palaearctic species this reminds me Eumerus argyropus Loew, 1848 Edited by Grigory Popov on 19-08-2010 08:42 |

Grigory, thanks for your suggestion, but I don't have access to that publication. Gerard, sorry can't put it in your box. I have to collect 5 for BOLD first. Only have 2 so far. Cheers, Graeme |
