Hello Helge, it is a Melinda species recognizable by the blue color and the bend of the m-vein. the width of the frontal vitta and the apparent lack of a pre-sutural ia leads to a male Melinda viridicyanea. Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

well, I Thank you for helping me with Syrphidae a few times before. I appreciate you and i'm happy to help you in turn. I will add a photo of mine of a male M. gentilis just to illustrate the differences between viridicyanea and gentilis. I hope it is helpful to you.

Hello Helge, very nice drawings. I haven't seen this before. May i ask where you foud it? I use Dr. Rognes material to learn about Calliphoridae. However, i discovered the difference in size of the frons by having male specimens of both species. I noticed the size difference immediately. I had to check the material of Dr. Rognes to see if he mentions it. He does mention it in his decription but i didn't read the description of gentilis until after i had identified it. Anyway, i have documented male and female of viridicyanea and gentilis. The females also have a difference in size of the frons but it is much more difficult to judge in a photo. Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |
