Hello everyone, and best wishes for this new year, it is rich in entomology! I present you a hoverfly that I captured in French Guiana in 2009 on the station Nouragues. Anyone know the species? Thank you to you  length : 8mm Benoît benoit gilles attached the following image:  [112.87Kb] Edited by benoit gilles on 12-01-2014 19:47 |

Probably Palpada. The North American Eristalis transversa also has a transverse stripe on the thorax, but such markings are more typical of Palpada.

Hello, John, thank you for your help. On another forum, they gave me this reference: http://bugguide.net/node/view/856490/bgimage I find Palpada agrorum. You think this is the right species? Thank you, Benoît |

There are over 100 neotropical species of Palpada. I don't know how many of them look like agrorum. |
