A peculiar E. sp that I decided to post after seeing a recent thread.

Eristalis rupium (the hind metatarsus are pale). It might also be E. pseudorupium looking to the femur 3, which has the base yellowish. Amalia Edited by amalia_raluca on 06-02-2008 15:46 |

Thx for both of you. If I understand it correctly one can not say which of the two species is shown here. So I label this E. cf rupium, which is recorded from the region.

I would need a key to see... not available here. Difference is not always easy between these two species. My gutfeeling now says rupium, because of the way the spots on the wings are extended. And especially if you cought it on higher altitudes. But Amalia's addition may be correct. |
