It's a Microdontinae. Menno Reemer could have an idea about it!

By the traditional classification, this is Microdon and in the last published key to Afrotropical Microdon (Curran 1938, American Museum Novitates 1009, page 4) the image runs to erythros Bezzi .

Hi,
 
Sorry, thanks to Chris' reply I realize that my previous message was not totally accurate.
Besides Metadon inermis Loew and M. mynthes Seguy (the species I already mentioned), there are two other described Afrotropical species with black thorax and reddish abdomen: Microdon erythros Bezzi & M. luteivenris Bezzi (note difference in generic placement!). Apart from differences between the genera Metadon and Microdon, which cannot be readily seen on the photograph, the latter two species (erythros and luteiventris) differ from the first two by their clear wings (dusky in inermis & mynthes) and the absence of lateral patches of silverish pile on the tergites. 
 
Best wishes to all,
 
Menno
 
P.S.: The paper on Microdontinae just published in ZooKeys is open access, so anyone can download it for free.

Message-ID: <CALZXNEu+X=4bYoMXC3ALjFN+uskeXm4SUhq9o0MuQZR5c-4rqg@mail.gmail.com>

Dear colleagues,



I?m organizing a small symposium on Syrphoidea (even though recent
molecular analysis does not support Pipunculidae + Syrphidae) for the 8th
International Congress of Dipterology, which will take place in Potsdam
(Germany), from August 10th to 15th 2014.



I would like to know if you are interested on giving a talk on this matter
to include you in the Syrphoidea symposium. The focus of the ICD is broad:
taxonomy, systematics, phylogenetics, natural history, but also applied
biology, conservation, and biogeography.



I think your contribution would be excellent for the Congress. Please, find
all the details here: http://www.icd8.org/  and check ?Important dates?.
Please note that talks are 15 minutes including time for questions.



Please, answer this email if you are thinking on participating and let me
know your ?preliminary title?. It would be great to have you there.



Please distribute this email with your colleagues that may find it
interesting.



Thank you!



Sincerely,



Ximo

Sorry, Ximo,

I have been very slow with various things, mainly as my first priority is cleaning up and getting ready to start a new phase in our lives.

Betty and I are now building a new home in Florida, etc. And, yes, Chris gets 800 square feet of "man cave" species. We will also have 3 extra bedrooms for visitors, so I hope you will come and visit in the future.

As for Potsdam, you know I will be there. But I am not sure whether I will make a "formal" presentation.

For this summer, yes, we are looking forward to your visit and I will have the stuff ready for Fragosa and Leucopodella, etc.

Sincerely,

Chris
