This female ws reared from galls on Artemisia vulgaris. Triglyphus primus were reared from the same plants at the location. I have tried to id it by means of the Syrph the net key, Nationalnyckeln and two articles: http://cdussaix.free.fr/Ante-Syrfid/DOC/Eupeodes%20goeldlini.pdf http://www.phegea.org/Phegea/2009/Phegea37-2_51-54.pdf I'm stuck. Hope somebody can help me. A few specifications: lateral margin of tergite 5: entirely yellow hind femora: light-brown discolouration at basis, 1/5 or less. alula: almost entirely covered in microtrichia posterolateral hair fringe on the front femur: pale second basal cell: approx. 50 % bare sternite 5: entirely yellow hairs on scutellum: pale with a few black hairs in the middle Leif Bloss Carstensen attached the following image:  [199.99Kb] Edited by Leif Bloss Carstensen on 16-01-2016 16:47 |

Hello Leif Bloss Carstensen, Very nice rearing Syrphidae! Eupeodes is, to my opinion, a mess. This specimen falls in between E. goeldlini and E. bucculatus in the keys. I've caught a few specimens with comparable features and put them in my collection as Eupeodes c.f bucculatus. Greetings, Ectemnius |

Hello Ectemnius. thank you for a very quick reply to a difficult genera. I will label the specimen as you do. i know that a group of people is working on clarifying this genera. |
