Malin,

Guess it depends more on the actual type of landscape you have there than on the altitude. I have collected on the nearby Tibetan plateau at  4000-4500 m and found a lot of familiar species (migrants?) from low altitudes as well. I attach a paper where the habitat is briefly described. A short species list from 2 days collecting:

Platycheirus pusillus
P. altotibeticus
P. rubrolateralis
Syrphus vitripennis
Syrphus sp.
Sphaerophoria indiana
Sph. sp.
Chrysotoxum lanulosum
Chr. sp.
Eupeodes spp.
Paragus gulangensis
Pipizella sp.
Eristalis arbustorum
Eristalis tenax
Eristalinus sepulchralis
Syritta pipiens

Have a good trip!

Hi, does anyone know what hoverfly species to expect in the Himalayas
(India) at about 4000 m above sea level?

Malin,

Not at 4000m that is mighty high, though I had Pararctophila (oberthueri?),
Eristalis cerealis, E.tenax, Syrphus ribessi and a Sphaerophoria from the
hills around Srinigar, and if the butterflies are anything to go by, stuff
gets blown higher than it breeds. Let us know what you find (and any
photos),

Steven

You might find a species of Lycastris, something I have always wanted to see, with its outlandishly long proboscis !
