Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Chrysotoxum from Mallorca

On 2 dec 08 in Mallorca (Majorca) I found this syrphid male, which I could identify with Van Veen's key for NW Europe. I presume it is a Chrysotoxum, though it has hairy humeri, whcih Syrphini aren't supposed to have.

Any suggestions as to what species it could be?

(It was temporarily stored in alcohol.)

I can think of only one candidate: intermedium.

hi André,

thanks, you're perfectly right! I misread van Veen's key..
