Indeed, and the genus is Xylota. Could be Xylota vecors, but I don't know if there are more lookalikes! Greetings Edited by Gerard Pennards on 15-02-2009 21:52 Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

This is a male of Xylota or Chalcosyrphus. Not Xylota vecors (nowadays Chalcosyrphus vecors), that is a black species with red legs (like European C. femoratus). Unfortunately I do not know any species of Xylota/Chalcosyrphus with such a clear pattern on the fourth abdominal segment. Wouter |
