Hello everyone I found this hoverfly yesterday in the Black Forest (southwest Germany) on the edge of a forest path (fir, beech). The size was about 10 mm. It is probably a male of the genus Cheilosia. Can you identify the species? Greetings Siggi Siegfried Rudolf attached the following image:  [194.92Kb] Edited by Siegfried Rudolf on 21-04-2023 09:06 |

Hello Siggi, with van Veen's key in Hoverflies of Northwest Europe I ended up with canicularis group and male C. himantopa ("tergites with copper sheen, last segment of tarsae often dark") But I fear, it's not enough to be quite sure and it'll be better to wait for the expert.

Hello Eric, thanks a lot for your help. That looks very appropriate to me, but unfortunately I only have this one picture. Then I'll wait a little longer. If no one answers, the picture gets the name Cheilosia cf. himantopus. Greetings Siggi Edited by Siegfried Rudolf on 19-04-2023 20:22 |
