(India) at about 4000 m above sea level?<br>

Not at 4000m that is mighty high, though I had Pararctophila (oberthueri?),<br>
Eristalis cerealis, E.tenax, Syrphus ribessi and a Sphaerophoria from the<br>
hills around Srinigar, and if the butterflies are anything to go by, stuff<br>
gets blown higher than it breeds. Let us know what you find (and any<br>
photos),<br>

You might find a species of Lycastris, something I have always wanted to see, with its outlandishly long proboscis !<br>
