Merodon sp. nova 2, sensu Ståhls et al. 2009

Material examined. 1 Ƥ, riverside vegetation near Neochori, 7.vi.2010, leg. G.E. Rotheray, det. A. Vujiċ 2011 [NMS].

Notes. Authors of this paper noted the remarkable similarity of this large specimen with M. avidus . The avidus group of species seems to be very homogeneous morphologically but highly diverse genetically, and Merodon sp. nova 2, although very similar to M. avidus, is much larger, thus making it one of the most distinctive taxa in the group (Ante Vujiċ in lit.). Larva undescribed.
