I have q question for you. This too species can be separated only by the habitat of their larvae, or there is something more? maybe the male genitalia? Amalia |

Mark van Veen's book on NW European syrphids mentions that they can only be separated on the basis of larval characters.

On the base of larval/pupal characters and on the base of the host ant. Formica lemani in Microdon mutabilis; Myrmica scabrinodis (and maybe other Myrmica species?) in Microdon myrmicae. |
