<div>What I said was given the recent work by Suk & Han (2013) on east asian
Chrysotoxum (in Animal Cells and Systems 17: 277-289, 2013) one needs to be very
carefully as molecular characters strongly suggest that color characters are
more variable and there are fewer species than previously recognized.</div>

I just published on Oriental species and confirmed another aphid prey species of

<div>Sorry, but I am slow for various personal reasons, etc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I can get this paper and generate a pdf of it for distribution.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>BUT I am curious of why and where we are in respects to the taxonomy of
Chrysotoxum.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As I remember it Daniele Sommaggio was working on a revision of this genus.
And he was also working on the Italian syrphid types, those of Rondani and other
authors. So, what has happened to Daniele ????</div>
