I shot these pictures near Szeged, S. Hungary, on 01.05.2012. My guess is Anasimyia interpuncta, female. Is it possible to ID this fly? Thanks for any help! Henrik piros attached the following image:  [178.2Kb] |

A female Anasimyia it is, but A. interpuncta closely resembles A. lunulata. A Syrphid expert might be able to tell them apart, but, alas, I am not the right one... Regards, Sundew |

Thanks a lot for your answer! My main reason for suggesting A. inerpuncta was the early date of the photographs. |

A. interpuncta is said to be typically associated with ditches and pools dominated with Reed Sweet-grass (Glyceria maxima), whereas A. lunulata is a species of boggy pools (http://www.flickr...609615289/). Is this statement of any help? |

Thanks again! The place where I found this fly is a remnant pool of occasional floodings of a river (Maros), and probably accumulates some salt during dryer periods, because this fly was accompanied by Eurina ducalis and Lejops vittatus, both prefering "brackish" bodies of water! Unfortunately I cannot remember if there was any Glyceria, but it is quiete probable, because it occurs all along the river Maros! Kind regards, Henrik |
