[Syrphidae] Re: Chrysotoxum volaticum

[André van Eck]

Dear Jeroen,  

I'd be happy to share it with you. 
Can you send us the (re-)description and/or the distinguishing
characters of _volaticum_ vs _bicinctum_? 

cheers, André

However, since it does not appear in any existing key after Séguys description, and because I have not seen specimens to compare it with, I am keeping this ID as 'preliminary'. Apparently it is not known from Europe yet, and therefor lacks in European keys. Even Violovitch does not include it in his review of Palaearctic _Chrysotoxum_.
