Dear Chris Raper,
  <Episyrphus> is a predominantly Old World tropics genus and <balteatus>=
 is
mainly Palaearctic, found also on the high Himalayas in the north-west (e=
=2Eg.,
Kashmir).  I have described a few NEW species from the Indian sub-contine=
nt
and am now working on the other Oriental species.  Your Malay specimen(s)=
 that
look "strangely familiar" need to be properly identified.  Its sister-gen=
us,
if one can call it that, is again the Oriental <Meliscaeva> which is also=
 very
diverse in the Indian sub-continent, several NEW species being described =
by
me.
  I would be glad to identify your specimen(s) and send you related datab=
ases.
 Regards,

Dr KUMAR GHORPADE

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how widespread (around the
world) the common UK hoverfly Episyrphus balteatus (De Geer, 1776) is?
I have just received some Malaise trapped material from Malaysia - I'm
not particularly interested in the Syrphidae but I just notice one
looked strangely familiar...

Best wishes,
Chris R.
