Cheilosia (Cheilosia) chloris (Meigen, 1822)

Syrphus chlorus Meigen, 1822: 284 .

Cheilosia chloris – Gujabidze 2002: 245. — Mengual et al. 2020: 16.

Remarks

This species is morphologically very similar to C. bracusi, a species that was reported new for the Caucasus only in 2020 (Mengual et al. 2020). The only published record of C. chloris from the Caucasus (from Gurshevi in Shida Kartli; Gujabidze 2002) predates Mengual et al. (2020) and needs confirmation. We think it is unlikely that C. chloris occurs in the Caucasus and remove it from the checklist.

Distribution

Western and Central Palaearctic, into Siberia.
