Can anyone get me closer to a name for this mating pair taken 2 July in N Scotland (NH45) on forest edge? Another image follows. Murdo syrphus attached the following image: [42.68Kb] Edited by syrphus on 03-07-2013 09:23 |

Hi Murdo they are Sciomyzids - the genus with the dark wings is I think Pelidnoptera - not too uncommon in our pinewoods ......... Iain Iain MacGowan |

I think both images display the same copula and most likely it is a pair of Tetanocera.

Thanks, Piet. How would I separate these two? [Edit] I have found diagrams of the genitalia in Rozkosny that make it phyllophora. Thanks to all. M. Edited by syrphus on 03-07-2013 09:22 |
