Besides having a vacation I would like to collect a hoverfly or two. Some quick & dirty googling does not provide me with lots of information on Syrphidae on Corsica. I can find three papers which will be useful: - Doczkal 1996 Description of two new species of the genus Eumerus Meigen (Diptera, Syrphidae) from Corsica - Van der Goot, V.S. (1961) Zweefvliegenvangst op Corsica. *Entomologische Berichten*, *Deel*, 21: 219-223. - Goeldlin de Tiefenau, P. & Lucas, J.A.W. (1981) *Paragus* (Dipt., Syrphidae) de Corse et de Sardaigne. *Bull.Soc.Ent.Suisse*, 54: 389-397. I have a few questions: - Does anyone have pdf?s of the 1961 and 1981 papers? (I have the 1996 one) - Sure I miss some useful literature, any other papers that could be useful? Does a checklist exist? - Does anyone has experience with collecting on Corsica or with collecting in early April in the Mediterranean (I am a bit early in the season I guess)?

If you don't receive it from others, I can send it to you later... Just let me know. About _P. romanicus_ Stanescu (of the bicolor group) I can only say that this species is currently under revision. It is very similar to _bicolor_ Fabricius and to _testaceus _Meigen. Ante Vujic I believe is preparing a paper which deals with these three species. Females of these three species probably will stay unidentifiable. And ofcourse I am willing to assist you in case you would require some extra hands on your Belgian specimens. Cheers, Andr?

My problem remains however: can females of Paragus flammeus and P finitimus be told apart? (this applies to the Belgian situation) If anyone feels he/she can comment on this? More specific: With regard to the depression in tergite 7 in P finitimus: I have not found this in presumed Paragus finitimus females (caught together with several males of P finitimus). On the other hand, in a series of P flammeus females (caught together with male flammeus), one specimen exhibited this depression (but did not differ by any other means from the other females). Also, the feature of long silverish hairs on tergite 5 does not differ among presumed females of the above species in Belgian material, and also the shape of tergites 7-8 does not accord with the drawings in the article of Goeldlin 1976 (repeated in Verlinden 1992, van Veen 2004). Can anyone help me on this? best regards Frank ________________________________ Van: Francis Gilbert [Francis.Gilbert at nottingham.ac.uk] Verzonden: dinsdag 15 maart 2016 9:17 Aan: Frank Van de Meutter CC: Hoverfly discussion list Onderwerp: papers Dr Francis Gilbert Professor of Ecology Room B132, Biology Building, School of Life Sciences University Park, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK Tel: +44 (0) 115 951 3215 website: www.nottingham.ac.uk/~plzfg ecology.nottingham.ac.uk This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.

Twee keer geweest in meivakantie. Prachtig wandelen en ook best mooie vogels gezien, helaas geen Corsicaanse boomklevers. Ook wel wat zweefjes gezien, maar niet veel spannends. Ik kan me nog wel iets herinneren van een paper over twee endemische Eumerus soorten van Corsica. Mogelijk beschreven door van der Goot of Doesburg. Fijne vakantie. Ik ga met Pasen naar Andalusie. Hopelijk deze keer Knobbelmeerkoeten, Marmereend, Witkopeend en Spaanse Keizerarend heb ik al. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Leendert-Jan van der Ent ----Origineel Bericht---- Van : botsander at gmail.com Datum : 14/03/2016 15:15 Aan : syrphidae at lists.nottingham.ac.uk Onderwerp : [Syrphidae] Corsica Hi everybody, Upcoming April 8 I will visit Corsica for a week. Besides having a vacation I would like to collect a hoverfly or two. Some quick & dirty googling does not provide me with lots of information on Syrphidae on Corsica. I can find three papers which will be useful: - Doczkal 1996 Description of two new species of the genus Eumerus Meigen (Diptera, Syrphidae) from Corsica - Van der Goot, V.S. (1961) Zweefvliegenvangst op Corsica. Entomologische Berichten, Deel, 21: 219-223. - Goeldlin de Tiefenau, P. & Lucas, J.A.W. (1981) Paragus (Dipt., Syrphidae) de Corse et de Sardaigne. Bull.Soc.Ent.Suisse, 54: 389-397. I have a few questions: - Does anyone have pdf?s of the 1961 and 1981 papers? (I have the 1996 one) - Sure I miss some useful literature, any other papers that could be useful? Does a checklist exist? - Does anyone has experience with collecting on Corsica or with collecting in early April in the Mediterranean (I am a bit early in the season I guess)?
