IUCN Red List of Hoverflies. From all of these species in this list I have some (broad range) data, but we think this might picture a too optimistic situation for the status of the species involved. </span><span style="margin:0px; font-size:11.25pt; color:rgb(32,31,30); background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)">Maybe
if we have better data we can reduce the AOO and EOO so we might get a more accurate picture of the real situation for these species. </span><span style="margin:0px; font-size:11.25pt; color:rgb(32,31,30); background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0)">From some countries

maybe Ukraine (Grigory Popov). But extra (maybe unpublished) data from the above mentioned countries is also very welcome! All information from other European countries that are not in this list, or from European Russia are needed, and I would be happy if
you all would take a look in your data bases.</span></div>
