Subject: [Syrphidae] Specimens for the ISS13
Message-ID: <CALZXNEuacXH6WwJzN9jOihWB336nrzkMeSuwYM8ju+tUw87V6Q@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

I would like to ask for a favor. The ISS13 is around the corner, and I
would be very happy if you can bring some species for me to study.

There are two "morphs" of Ferdinandea ruficornis: one with the abdomen
copper-coloured and yellow hairs, and a second morph with the abdomen
bluish black with yellow and some black hairs. If you have specimens of the
dark morph, especially from Northern Europe, I would love to study them.

Hammerschmidtia ferruginea. Any specimen from Europe or European Russia
would be extremely useful.

I hope some of you can bring the specimens to Italy, or someone else can do
it for you.

Many thanks in advance.

Ximo

My apologies.

I meant *Hammerschmidtia ingrica* (!).

Thanks.

Dear all,

It is me again with another petition. I am very interested to see the
so-called *Fedinandea nigrifrons *from South Korea and China. If you have
specimens that you can bring to the ISS13, I would highly appreciate the
opportunity to study them.

Many thanks in advance,

Ximo

Hello All,

To those attending ISS13, is anyone arriving in Venice on the morning of
the 22nd?

Looking for a carpool partner to the conference. My flight arrives at 9am
local time.

Willing to pay for a tank of gas as compensation.

Email if interested.

Best,
Kevin
