male - 6.3mm - Berlin - May 2018 I am hoping that someone can confirm at least the genus Pipizella. I don't have keys for many Syrphidae. I also request any tips of where to find keys. I usually just glance at photos and try to memorize appearance/morphology. I thought it was Cheilosia until i looked at it a bit closer. I quickly browsed the gallery and this looks very similar to Pipizella viduata. https://diptera.i...to_id=4312 I can match genitalia if someone can provide drawings. I see that nine Pipizella are recorded for Germany, four of which are recorded for Berlin (according to the Entomologische Gesellschaft Berlin). I have read about Speight but i cannot find pdf files. Anyone able to help? I would like keys to genera, keys to Cheilosia especially.

Hello Friends, I am sorry about requesting keys for Pipizella. I just found a pdf with drawings of genitalia: Revision of the West-Palaearctic species of Pipizella Jeroen van Steenis and Jan A.W. Lucas I didn't see this before. I guess that i overlooked it in the search results. So I just need a confirmation of the genus please. Thank you. John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Today i've dissected the specimen and i can confirm P. viduata. I'm surprised that i was able to id it by photo because most text implies that genitalia is required. Very interesting. Bravo! Helge for recognizing this specimen. I've never seen a Pipizella before, so i wasn't sure about my tentative id. Anyway, the genitalia is a perfect match to drawings. Thank you for your time, John Edited by johnes81 on 19-07-2018 17:54 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |
