<div>Hi </div>
<div>I can help you with <em>Sph. scripta</em> and <em>Sph. turkmenica</em> but the only problem is the cost of posting specimens to you. </div>
<div>I have micro-tubes and pure and 96 % Ethyl alcohol in my lab. if you solve that problem I can collect specimens from Iran the coming spring. </div>
<div>All the best </div>

Dear all,<br/>
<br/>
after the great help received for the *Temnostoma *project lead by Jirka<br/>
Hadrava, I would like to ask you for some help with *Sphaerophoria*.<br/>
<br/>
We are currently studying the genomics of the genus *Sphaerophoria*, and we<br/>
would love to receive some specimens from around the 'Holarctic' of the<br/>
following five species:<br/>
<br/>
- *Sphaerophoria scripta*<br/>
- *Sphaerophoria* *taeniata*<br/>
- *Sphaerophoria* *virgata*<br/>
- *Sphaerophoria interrupta*<br/>
- *Sphaerophoria* *philanta *<br/>
<br/>
Ideally we would need 5 to 10 specimens of each species, not necessarily<br/>
collected in the same spot on the same day. I'm sure these species are<br/>
common enough to get good numbers.<br/>
<br/>
I you do not mind to help me with this project, please let me know and I<br/>
will send you some vials with ethanol for this coming season.<br/>
<br/>
Many thanks in advance!<br/>
<br/>
Kind regards,<br/>
<br/>
Ximo<br/>

Dear all,<br/>
<br/>
I forgot to mention that we have interest obly on males, as females might<br/>
be tricky to identify.<br/>
<br/>
Best wishes,<br/>
