Please, can someone help me with identification of this Sphaerophoria? It doesn't have visible yellow stripes on the margins of thorax, so I don't know, if these stripes should be interrupted (then - using Van Veen key - it seems to be S. schirchan), or if the stripes are normal - and this fly is just S. scripta with abnormally dark coloration. On this locality, S. scripta was quite common species, but I didn't see any other specimen with coloration like this.

Hello Jirka,

The specimen looks interesting. However If you'd want to be sure I'd need to see the specimen myself...

Greetings,
