Nope, More likely a species of Eupeodes. My guess would be Eupeodes lunger male, but in the south there are some other species as well! Greetings, Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Gerard, I checked my 4 (1m+3f) collected in Safaga Eupeodes. According van Veen key I've got E. corollae - scutellum yellow-haired, terg 3,4 yellow spots reach abdomen margin. What is your oppinion? Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Hello Nikita, Yes, it could very well be Eupeodes corollae. I based my idea of E. luniger on the fact that the spots are not connected in the middle, and I thought the spots didn't reach the margin. In the typical Eupeodes corollae male the spots are connected in the middle, giving the yellow spots a very typical appearance. But they can be separated, as in this case. So this can very well be a Eupeodes corollae male, especially when I see the end of the abdomen. It seems to have a big genital knob, which would make it Eupeodes corollae indeed!
