Unfortunately only got one picture of this Syrphid.. It looks like a female to me. Picture was taken in the surroundings of Paraty-Brazil not far from the sea.. Thank you! Myriam   |

A female Palpada, probably Palpada albifrons, but that is not completely sure! Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

In P. albifrons, there is a greyish pollinose fascia along the posterior margin of the mesonotum. This seems to tbe lacking in the specimen in the picture. More likely candidates are P. fasciata, P. florea and P. inversa. These will be very hard to tell apart from a picture alone. |
