 Specie was about 15mm long. Can anybody confirm?
Pictured in Tanzania. Found on a moringa leaf which gives out a unique stench.

 Eristalinus vicarians Bezzi, maybe? There are many African species and I am not familiar with this. Came to this ID using Curran's key from 1939.

Curran, C.H. 1939. Records and Descriptions of African Syrphidae. - IV (Diptera).
In: American Museum Novitates, number 1026, April 19, 1939. The American Museum of Natural History, New York City.

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
