[Syrphidae] Introduced Syrphidae

[Hoverfly discussion list]

Dear Kurt and all others interested in introduced species,

 From my little knowledge of the Australian Syrphids, Eristalinus aeneus 
is known there as an introduced species, most probably from Europe.
I have captured it in SA, and Thompson lists data from NSW and Vic.
and
Thompson & Vockeroth list the following species as introduced on Oceania 
(http://hbs.bishopmuseum.org/aocat/syrphidae.html ; several other 
species are mentionned as "introduced; not established")
Toxomerus marginatus : Hawaiian Is [introduced]
Allograpta exotica : Hawaiian Is [introduced]
Allograpta obliqua : Hawaiian Is [introduced]
Allograpta radiata : Hawaiian Is [introduced]
