[Syrphidae] Violovitsh's Far Eastern Chrysotoxum work

[Chris Thompson]

All:

Kumar’s statement about my doubts on Violovitsh work is misleading.

What I said was given the recent work by Suk & Han (2013) on east asian Chrysotoxum (in Animal Cells and Systems 17: 277-289, 2013) one needs to be very carefully as molecular characters strongly suggest that color characters are more variable and there are fewer species than previously recognized.

Oh, well ...

Sincerely,

Chris

The work of Violovitsh on Eurasian Chrysotoxum is extensive and  well illustrated, though Chris doubts Violovitsh's results (pers. comm.).  I just published on Oriental species and confirmed another aphid prey species of this genus -see attachments.

Sorry, but I am slow for various personal reasons, etc.

I can get this paper and generate a pdf of it for distribution.

BUT I am curious of why and where we are in respects to the taxonomy of Chrysotoxum.

As I remember it Daniele Sommaggio was working on a revision of this genus. And he was also working on the Italian syrphid types, those of Rondani and other authors. So, what has happened to Daniele ????

So ...

Dear all,


I have to ask you for a favor.

I need to check one publication (description of Chrysotoxum flavipenne), maybe some of you can share it as .pdf



Palma, G. 1864. Ditteri della fauna napolitana. Annali dell’Accademia degli Aspiranti Naturalisti (3) 3 [1863]: 37-66. [1864.??.??]



Thanks in advance


Best regards
