Dear all,
Here are some pictures from some syrphids that I caught in the Greek mountains in this summer.
They are members of the genus Criorhina. Because of the bundle of yellow hairs in the corners of tergite 2, you would think it is Criorhina floccosa.
However, floccosa looks like a orange bumblebee, and these are more black and white on the abdomen. Is this another species, or just an variation of C. floccosa?
Greetings,
