[Syrphidae] Requesting description of Eristalinus aurulans (Wiedemann, 1824)

[ximo mengual sanchis]

Dear Bristi,

the images of the type can be found here:
https://collections.snm.ku.dk/en/object/NHMD61651

To my knowledge, there is no other description after Wiedemann. Ghorpadé
(2019 - Dravida) suggested that the type could have been mislabelled as the
species is currently known New Guinea, Solomons IS., and Australia.
