Eupeodes bucculatus (Rondani, 1857)

Notes. Reported from: Styria (ST), Burgenland (BU) and Vorarlberg (VB). Data published by Metz (2012) and Waitzbauer (2001) are considered doubtful. Voucher specimens must be re-examined. Recently, Aistleitner et al. (2020) published a single record from Vorarlberg. However, the species identification is uncertain (Stefan Pruner pers. comm.). Therefore, we do not include the species in the main list, until the species identification is proven with certainty. In general, it is very difficult to separate E. bucculatus from other species of the genus ( Speight 2020). We consider it likely that this species occurs in Austria, as it is reported from Central Europe (e.g., Switzerland) ( Speight 2020).
