This looks a lot like Syrphidae, but the DNA suggests it is some other family. Could the antenna be diagnostic? Malaise trap, Townsville, Queensland. Graeme Cocks attached the following image:  [103.09Kb] |

It has a spurious vein and resembles our northern hemisphere Chrysotoxum. |

Ceriana or perhaps a related genus.

Yes, it's a syrphid and Paul is right about the genus. This is a Ceriana sp., probably something like Ceriana ornata but there are some more candidates which I don't know that well. Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
