Horsfield, David Wilkinson, Geoffrey Zootaxa 2012 3175 1 23 5PD9 224226 [151,262,1262,1288] Insecta Syrphidae Merodon Animalia Diptera 11 12 Arthropoda genus   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  avidusgroup of species seems to be very homogeneous morphologically but highly diverse genetically, and  Merodonsp. 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.    Merodon sp. nov.Vujić  et al.(in prep.)  Material examined.1 3, Agiasos, 1.vi.2010, sweet chestnut forest, leg. S.M. Hewitt, det. A. Ricarte 2011(confirmed by A.
