 Hi Gerold, I think it's a male Melangyna quadrimaculata.
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

 Hallo Eric,
thanks for the hint. The legs are colored differently than Melangyna quadrimaculata and there is a third pair of darker spots.

 Hallo Gerold, yes, I've overseen that but I thought the scutellum is too dark for Meligramma. If you put your thread in forum Syrphidae I'm sure you will soon find an expert for these.

 Hello Erich, thank you very much for the answer - I have already asked the question in the Syphidae forum, but unfortunately no answer so far.
Greetings, Gerold

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
