[Syrphidae] Re: Sympatry in Sphaerophoria

[Menno Reemer]

In the Netherlands,  every Sphaerophoria species has its own habitat requirements, but some can be found in the same areas. For details, you could consult the species accounts in the book De Nederlandse zweefvliegen:
https://www.bestuivers.nl/publicaties/de-nederlandse-zweefvliegen
See chapter 10 pp. 311-318 for Sphaerophoria. These species accounts are based on the collective field experiences of many Dutch syrphidologists. They all have English summaries!
Also see appendix 6, which arranges all the species according to the habitats in which they occur.
Best wishes,
Menno

In Poland S. virgata is forest species, and rare. S. scripta is present on all possible types of meadows incl. ruderal areas, being sympatric with S. taeniata  and S. batava on e.g. forest glades and "good open areas", especially on coasts an along rivers - many times I gathered longer series of all three. S.philantha is extremely rare. S.interrupta is very rare.

Dear all,

I have a question regarding Sphaerophoria. Based on my field experience, I would say that usually more than one Sphaerophoria species occur in the same locality.

I am interested on S. taeniata, virgata, scripta, interrupta and philantha. Can someone tell me if they are sympatric?

I collected in the same place scripta and taeniata, for example. Is it the same for philantha and virgata? or taeniata and interrupta?

Cheers,

Ximo
