Thomas Lebard and I recently published a small paper on the first French record of Neocnemodon fulvimanus. N?ve, G. & Lebard, Th. 2025. Neocnemodon fulvimanus (Zetterstedt, 1843) : un syrphe nouveau pour la faune de France (Diptera Syrphidae). L?Entomologiste 81 (5) : 365 ? 369. Neocnemodon fulvimanus (Zetterstedt, 1843) : a hoverfly new to the French fauna (Diptera Syrphidae). A male Neocnemodon fulvimanus caught in Prads-Haute-Bl?one (Alpes-de-HauteProvence) on 28 June 2020, is reported here. This is the first report of this species in France. An illustrated key to the males of the five Neocnemodon species of the French fauna is provided.
