From botsander at gmail.com Mon Jan 2 20:43:53 2017 From: botsander at gmail.com (Sander Bot) Date: Mon, 2 Jan 2017 21:43:53 +0100 Subject: [Syrphidae] help with Dutch field guide on Syrphidae Message-ID: Dear Syrphid enthusiast, Together with Frank van de Meutter I am working on a proper field guide to the hoverflies of Belgium and the Netherlands, to be published in 2018. For this upcoming guide I make high quality photographs from pinned specimens and with the help of Photoshop I turn them in proper images for the guide. For two low res examples see http://waarneming.nl/fotonew/4/11633034.jpg and http://waarneming.nl/fotonew/9/11276349.jpg. I also tried to attach them in this email, the originals are way larger. The better pinned the specimen, the easier it is to make good photos. For the majority of the species the photos are taken or nicely pinned material is waiting to be photographed. However, for some species we are still missing material. And for these species I am asking your help. Do you have material useful for the project and could we loan it? For the following species we lack material: Brachyopa silviae male and female Callicera macquarti male Callicera spinolae male and female Melangyna ericarum female Merodon aeneus male and female Microdon major male Microdon mutabilis pupa Orthonevra elegans male and female Orthonevra erythrogona male Paragus constrictus male and female Platycheirus ramsarensis male Platycheirus sticticus male Sphaerophoria bankowskae female Sphaerophoria potentillae female Sphaerophoria shirchan female Sphegina spheginea male Temnostoma meridionale female Tropidia fasciata female For these I would be glad to receive any material at all, since we have none now, but the better pinned the easier to photograph. For the females we usually not make a habitus photo but only photograph the abdomen, so for the ladies only a not too curved abdomen will do. For the following species we have material, but the quality is not too good, so better material would be much appreciated: Brachyopa grunewaldensis male and female Brachyopa obscura female Brachypalpus valgus male and female Callicera aurata male Cheilosia ahenea male and female Cheilosia grisella male Cheilosia sahlbergi female Melangyna ericarum male Melangyna labiatarum male Melangyna lucifera male Melanogaster parumplicata male genitalia Merodon ruficornis male and female Microdon analis pupa Orthonevra stackelbergi male and female Paragus flammeus male Pipizella divicoi male Pipizella maculipennis female Platycheirus amplus male Platycheirus nielseni female Sphaerophoria chongjini female Sphegina nigra male Sphegina spheginea female Temnostoma meridionale male Tropidia fasciata male Do you have material from the species mentioned above? It would be great if we could loan that material for the book. Even if you have only one or two specimens, that could already be useful, when it is a rare species even one specimen might be very useful! It is preferred that the specimen is not from too far away, so Central Europe is preferred above the Mediterranean, but of course the Mediterranean is preferred above no material at all ;-). We will cover all the costs of shipping it to the Netherlands and back. By the end of the year the manuscript should be finished, so you will get the material back within a year. In return I will sent you the high res image of any fly of you we use for the book, and a proper contribution will result in a free copy of the book as well. Please let me know if you would like contribute, it's much appreciated. This could be by sending material but also by tipping me about people or museums that might have a large and well pinned collection. If you doubt because your flies are not pinned very nice or you have only very few flies to contribute, please still contact me, so we can see whether your contribution is useful. For any other questions about the project don?t hesitate to email me as well. Last but not least: I wish everybody a happy 2017!

I'm not able to identify it with the literature I have now. I have a whole series of these, they are small (5 to 8 mm), the male can be very small and dark (see pictures), the female has a very rounded abdomen with small to very small yellow or white maculae, that reach and go over the lateral margins. .These look a bit like the maculae that Dasysyrphus friuliensis has. The head is big, with a bulging face, almost... no facial stripe, and a reasonably big nose (see pictures). Antennae black. The scutum is black and shiny, no pollinose stripes, but with long white hairs. In the wings the cells bm and br are almost completely bare, and even the upper part of the anal cell is without microtrichia. Sternite 2 is yellow, but 3 and 4 are almost completely black (see picture). But there is variation in that, I also have specimens in which the sternites are transparent. So, is there anyone out there who might point me in the right direction for this one? I have used a key now that was made by Anatolii Barkalov (2007), and I think it could eventually be Dasysyrphus shiloi. But I don't know if that is true, maybe someone has pictures or more info on this species and can confirm my ID?
