This specimen of a Eupeodess sp. was photographed by me on Acacia cyanophylla flowers, near Bogaz, northern Cyprus on 4 April 2017. So far as I can ascertain just three species of this genus have been recorded on the island, these being: Eupeodes latifasciatus, E.corollae, and E.nuba.
It is clearly not E.latifasciatus and does not look quite right for E.corollae as I see that in the UK. I understand that E.nuba is very close to E,corolla but have no further information about E.nuba. I wonder therefore if someone familiar with this species can advise if this is indeed E.nuba or just a variation on E.corollae. I do have additional images and the specimen.

Many thanks

Alan
