Hello, can sombody tell me the name of this species. We found it in June next to a woody area (SW-Germany). One Key (Bothe 1996) told me it's E. auricollis, but when i try it with Van Veen, i allway miss Episyrphus, because i can not see any hair on metasternum. Thanks in advance!

Hello, looking both in Faunaeur Name Search and in the Nomenclator Query of Systema Dipterorum I don't find any Episyrphus auricollis. Maybe the presently accepted name is Meliscaeva auricollis (Meigen 1822)? Best regards, Carlo |

I think Meliscaeva auricollis is corect. As far as i know Meliscaeva was seen as a subgenus of Episyrphus, but in later works reinstall Meliscaeva as separate genus (Van Veen 2010) Greetings Pengie |
