<div>Hi</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Well could be Syritta..., but photo are terrible for ID... if
yes, then most sure will be S. pipiens because eusynanthropic habits,
relation with human faeces etc.</div>
<div>Unfortunately not forensic precise tools as<font color="#000000">
accumulated degree-days/hours or isomorphen-diagram </font> are
available for this species because probably this will be first case
report with presence of this genus at least in Europe ... anybody has
more info? until now mainly Eristalis tenax and other eristalines have
appear related with human bodies...</div>

<div>A single case was published involving Episyrphus balteatus adults
in a forensic? case report ... but finally "marmalade fly"
was not related with the body... (note that photos of copses appear in

<div>However in Perez-Bañón & Marcos-García (2000) a
complete larval description of pupae from both pipiens and
flaviventris species is included. This could help Paola to identify
herself specimens (of course if adult emerge will be probably more
easy...). Pupal period (after larval development in decaying cacti)
was 8-11 days (climatic chamber 16-22 ºC, 15:9 photoperiod). Larvae
were sampled in Mediterranean "winter" that means a minimum
of 11-12 degrees in January in of the study sites... ;-)</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>Dear all,<br>
<br>
A colleague sent me some pictures of what she thinks is Syritta, and
she would like to know more about the specimens.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions for her? Does someone know about the timing for these
species to grow up? Any publication about this issue?<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot in advance!<br>
<br>

Subject: Syritta help!<br>
<br>
Dear Ximo,<br>
my name is Paola Magni, I'm a forensic entomologist at University of
Turin, Italy.<br>
at present I'm dealing with some cases where some Syritta in stages of
larvae and pupae are present.<br>
I'm wondering if you have any information/data concerning the time
needed by Syritta to grow up until the third instar and pupa compared
with temperature.<br>
that could be very useful for my work.<br>
Unfortunately I just have few and bad pics of these samples, but maybe
you can recon the species of this Syritta. I'm sending these pics in
attachment.<br>
N.B. in the italian check list we have just<br>
Syritta flaviventris Macquart, 1842 (N, S, Si, Sa)<br>
Syritta pipiens (Linné, 1758) (N, S, Si, Sa)<br>
thank you from now!</blockquote>
