Hi all,
I'm new on this forum and a beginner concerning Syrphidae.
Is this male a Scaeva selenitica? Photo taken in central Switzerland near Lucerne, altitude 1340 m, July 3rd 2009.
Thanks
Uli

selenitica/dignota. Do you have more pics of this one?

Hi Andre,
Unfortunately this is the only picture I have.
Thank you for your response, best regards

Given the broad angle between the eyes and the spots which do not reach lateral margin of abdomen, I am confident with
Scaeva selenitica.
