[Syrphidae] Request for Literature on Eristalinus tarsalis (Macquart, 1855)

[bristi roy]

Respected Sir/Madam,

I am Bristi Roy, currently working on Indian hoverflies at the Zoological
Survey of India (ZSI), Kolkata. As part of my ongoing research, I am
seeking a comprehensive description of *Eristalinus tarsalis* (Macquart,
1855), including diagnostic features and, if available, photographic
documentation.

Unfortunately, this species is not represented in the National Zoological
Collection of ZSI. Therefore, I would be extremely grateful if you could
kindly share any relevant literature, taxonomic revisions, or other sources
that include a detailed description of *Eristalinus tarsalis*. This would
greatly assist in comparative studies with other Indian species of
*Eristalinus*.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to your
kind support.



With warm regards,

Bristi Roy,

Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata
