On a different heading ...
Please could anyone point me to recent work on, or students of
afrotropical: Syrphidae, Tabanidae and Asilidae?
I see a few species, some quite frequently, in my field work in
northern Tanzania, and increasingly at Tonkolili in north central
Sierra Leone.
I am hardly an amateur - dipterist - but would very much like to
correspond with others who are more knowledgeable.
Many thanks,
James Wolstencroft

I would say it is Arctophila bombiformis based on the facial profile,
and facial and thorax coloration.
Best!

Hi everyone
Is this Arctophila bombiformis?
Or is it an unusual morph of Volucella bombylans?
Thanks!
Francis
