<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I now see that it concerns six species only, which are not in the field guide. However, we have 'common genus names' so it would still be nice to stick to these, so Wasp Fly for Sphiximorpha, Leafwalker for Chalcosyrphus and Forest Fly for Brachypalpus. We do not have a genus name for Primoceroides since it is not occurring in our region, so that one is entirely open, good luck!</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Sander</div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Op wo 28 sep. 2022 om 13:26 schreef Sander Bot <<a href="mailto:botsander@gmail.com">botsander@gmail.com</a>>:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Marija,<div><br></div><div>Frank Van de Meutter and I are producing an English version of the Dutch field guide.</div><div>It will be published somewhere in 2023 and we will include common names, these are ready in the manuscript.</div><div>It took us quite a while to make the list.

<font>Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
There is one current EU project named Action Plans for
conservation of threatened pollinator species in the EU, aiming to
develop 3 action plans for different groups of threatened
pollinators. One of these groups are saproxylic hoverlfies, more
precisely Sphiximorpha petronillae, Chalcosyrphus pannonicus,
Primocerioides regale, Brachypalpus chrysites, Chalcosyrphus
jacobsoni and Chalcosyrphus nigripes. <br>
<br>
In the process of developing a Status Review, encompassing all
relevant information on these species, one of the requirements is
to have common names for these species. We said that for many
hoverflies we do not have common names in English, but they
instructed us that in case we do not have, we should create them.<br>
<br>
So, this is an open call for all of you to give your suggestions
on common names in English for the six listed species. I am afraid
that the deadline for this is short, as it is short for finalizing
the entire Status Review, so I would kindly ask you to send your
suggestions by Friday. <br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for your help and engagement.<br>
<br>
Best wishes from Novi Sad,<br>
