This looks like a really distinctive syrphid but can it be identified - photo by Stephane Brule

Hi Chris Helophilus like nervation, elongate attennae, male with pilose eyes, thickened hind femora and arcuate tibiae lead me to Quichuana genera. I just found this document : THE GENUS QUICHUANA KNAB P-Y (Arff ! Gerard answered before me !) Edited by Pierre-Yves on 09-10-2011 19:48 |

Sorry P-Y :-)) Second thought, indeed a male Quichuana, but more likely to be Quichuana auratus. Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
