... 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. U Samnegard attached the following image:  [43.16Kb] |

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? Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

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