[Syrphidae] Request - Scaeva mecogramma

[ximo mengual sanchis]

Dear all,

We are trying to finish our work on *Eupeodes* and *Scaeva* based on
molecular characters. If you were present in Monschau, you may remember my
talk on this topic. If not, the abstract is in page 34:

I do need a big favor. We are looking for some recent material of *Scaeva
mecogramma* (Bigot) to obtain DNA. Any pinned material from the last 5
years, or (preferably) any material in alcohol would be highly appreciated.

The range of the species is Spain, southern France, Corsica, Italy, and
Switzerland; and the flight period May/June and August/September.

Please contact me if you have some material of this species, or if you try
to collect during this summer in these regions with a chance to catch this
species.

I hope you can help us.

Thank you very much!

Best,

Ximo
