Hallo!

Bavaria, 8.April
Found these black fly in a sunny forest, near a creek.
I dont know the lenght, I guess it was 5mm-1cm. She flew like a Syrphidae. I have no idea which family it is.

Regards,
Dennis

Hello Dennis,

It's not a she, but a he. And he is a Syrphidae indeed. A male Cheilosia morio. Nice find. Within the genus this species has a quite different larval habitat. Normally Cheilosia species live within herbs. But the larvae of C. morio live in exuding sap from Picea trees.
For comparison here's some photo's from the Netherlands:

And here's the paper reporting the species new for the Netherlands (with English summary): http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/document/555357
It seems to be expanding its range in Europe.

Greetings,

Ectemnius

Dennis

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
