In-Reply-To: References: , Message-ID: Hi Kurt & Jeroen, I agree that Merodon equestris is a good example. I'm not so sure about these two Cheilosia species. The host plant of C. semifasciata is indigenous in the Netherlands, so this syrphid was probably already present before Sedum tectorum (and related species) became popular in gardens. Cheilosia caerulescens lives in Sempervivum, which is not indigenous, but this syrphid may have dispersed from its Central European range (where Sempervivum occurs naturally). Of course, both species may have ben introduced subsequently to several gardens throughout Europe, but I think it's not possible to distinguish such local introductions from natural dispersal (at least not anymore). I think that Cheilosia grossa or albipila (forgot which one, but search for its synonym C. corydon) was introduced to the USA for biological control of thistles. The suitability of C. urbana and C. psilophthalma as biological controllers of certain introduced weeds in New Zealand has been studied, but I don't think these species have actually been introduced there (you should be able to find literature about this). I know that some species of Eumerus were introduced to South America. There are publications about this too. Syritta pipiens was introduced to North America (also occurs in Mexico). So far some things that popped into my mind! All the best, Menno Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2014 10:23:50 +0100 To: syrphidae at lists.nottingham.ac.uk From: syrphidae at lists.nottingham.ac.uk Subject: [Syrphidae] Re: introduced Syrphidae ?

In-Reply-To: References: , Message-ID: Dear Kurt, To prove that Syrphidae species are introduced by man in new areas of course is very difficult. You never know how wind might disperse them over vast distances. For instance there are records for from land of Syrphidae on oil drill platforms or light ships. However, there is quite some knowledge on species being moved by humans and on species occuring at places were it is almost obvious humans will have introduced them. There is a paper by Osten Sacken (1905) on the invasion of Eristalis tenax in the New World. Probably E. tenax is also introduced in Australia. Also Eristalis arbustorum might be an introduced species in North America. Jeff Skevington is studying the recent replacement of Eristalis brousii by E. arbustorum. I do not know if he published something already. There are several papers on Eumerus introduced in North America. From one of the species, E. narcissi, its origin is not known until know. This species very recently also arrived in Europe (Speight et al, 2013). Also introduction of Eristalinus aeneus in North America is probably helped by humans. Cheilosia caerulescens and C. semifasciata are very often found in their host plants in plant shops in the Netherlands. Of course Menno is right you cannot prove that they only have been introduced by man, but at least part of the Dutch populations are human introductions. Episyrphus balteatus now a days is used to prey on aphids in greenhouses in the Netherlands. I do not know whether it is used outside its natural range.

Main type of funding will be for the Syrphidae Symposium and for research by amateurs and professionals working together. For the start of the foundation I have two questions to all of you. The reply wil be send to my mail address and the answers will be processed anonymously.: 1) Do you think the Syrphidae foundation is a good idea? 2) Do you want to donate moneyto the foundation, and how much? The answers will be worked out together with the statues of the foundation. a presentation of the results will be given during the next Syrphidae Symposium in Bonn.

I'm studying hoverflies, and specifically how they transport pollen. Is anyone aware of anything in the literature on measurements of hoverfly 'hairiness' in different species? I am looking at the potential for different groups to carry pollen, and would be interested in any standardised measurements that may have been carried out.
