[Syrphidae] Re: Violovitsh's Far Eastern Chrysotoxum work

[Kumar Ghorpade]

Sorry Chris and thanks for clearing my misunderstanding.  Chrysotoxum baphyrum clearly supports colour characters being variable !  And C. "violaceum" being nothing more than a junior synonym of antiquum (see Colemania # 32).  Maybe some of you would be interested in our Pakistani Syrphidae update (Colemania # 37, PDF attached)?  Thanks.

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,

  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.

All:
 
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 ...
 
Sincerely,

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
