Location: highmoore, near like zurich, switzerland date: 01.08.09 size: about 10 mm unfortunately I found no pic to Fagisyrphus cinctus in the gallery - or I overlooked. Is it the correct ID? Thanks, Brigitte brigitteu attached the following image:  [64.02Kb] Edited by brigitteu on 02-08-2009 02:32 |

Fagisyrphus cinctus (Fallén, 1817) is called Melangyna cincta in van Veen's book and Meligramma cincta in Fauna europaea. There are two pictures of a male in the gallery under this last name. Your specimen is yet another genus. Maybe Meliscaeva cinctella? Edited by pierred on 02-08-2009 08:18 Pierre Duhem |

this hoverfly seemed (for me) "wider" and "rounder" as Meliscaeva cinctella - in this reason I thought of Meligramma cincta. Thank you! Regards, Brigitte |

Hello, In the gallery, you have the male and the female. This latter one is wider and rounder, as you say. Pierre Duhem |
