[Syrphidae] Re: Platycheirus muellleri

[Menno Reemer]

Hi Sander,
See attached paper by Jeroen van Steenis on Platycheirus marokkanus. Differences between that species and muelleri are unclear. Taxonomy of this group is waiting to be resolved.
I have some additional Iberian specimens, in case you'd like to get your hands dirty...
Best,
Menno

Subject: [Syrphidae] Platycheirus muellleri

Hi All,

I have an interesting male Platycheirus from the Pyrenees in front of me, that resembles albimanus. It also looks a bit like Platycheirus muelleri.

However, almost nothing is known about this species. It is described by Marcuzzi in 1941 with only a poor description (see attachment). He does not mention where the type is. It might be Trento. Does anybody know where to find that type?

Does anybody have more useful information about this species?

Many thanks in advance,

Sander
