Syrphidae collected in Southwestern Ethiopia in February-March 2011 on altitudes between 1500 and 2000 masl. It's caught in a coffee forest and its body length is 6-7mm. I'm mainly interested in the genus.

Thank you for the help Gerard! How certain are you in the identifications?

For this one I'm sure it's a female Melanostoma sp.
For some of the other identifications there are sometimes other possibilities.
Is the material from alcohol or another preserving fluid?

Okay! They have all been in alcohol for about a year so their colours may have changed a bit.
Greetings
