 Hi again,

this beautiful Syrphidae we found northern Greece.
Found on 03.05.2019 at lake kerkini.
I think it belongs to Helophilus, maybe Helophilus pendulus?

Thanks in advance.
Alex

 Hi Alex

You are welcome. But actually I may have been a bit fast with this one. You can actually clearly see the entirely black thighs and the only small portion of yellow on the tibia (a little lower). And that would actually make it a Helophilus hybridus. Sorry.

It's still a male, though Smile

 And you're right, Paul Smile Must be the heat! I was judging it by the eyes - and not thoroughly enough it seems.

 Hi Alex,

This is a female Helophilus trivittatus.

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
