[Syrphidae] Re: ID please = Eristalinus tabanoides (Jaennicke)

[Chris Thompson]

Francis:

It has spotted eyes, which makes it ERISTALINUS (sensu lato) or Lathyropthalmus (sensu stricto).

The species is tabanoides Jaennicke, which has been confused nomenclaturally as well as taxonomically with “quinquelineatus of authors, NOT Fabricius”.

Very nice image. Who took it and holds the rights. It would be useful for our Encyclopedia of Life if it has an OPEN ACCESS rights

Cheers
