[Syrphidae] Re: ID requests etc.

[Steven Falk]

James,

 

I've cc'd this to Malcolm Smart, who may well know. Boy I envy you, so much
want to see those Laetoli footprints, Olduvai Gorge etc. May plan something
in the next few years as Tanzania blew my brother away last year.

 

Best wishes,

 

Steven

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
