Sphaerophoria (Sphaerophoria) menthastri ( Linnaeus, 1758) View in CoL
Musca menthastri Linnaeus, 1758: 594 View in CoL . Type locality: Sweden (Svecia).
Syrphus melissae Meigen, 1822: 326 View in CoL . Type locality: Germany (Stolberg nr. Aachen).
Syrphus pictus Meigen, 1822: 326 View in CoL . Type locality: Germany.
World distribution: PA: Azores Is., Canary Is., China, Egypt, Europe (widespread), Japan, Mongolia, Morocco. Egyptian localities: Lower Nile Valley & Delta: Shubra [Sources: Shaumar & Kamal (1978)]. Activity period in Egypt: June.
Remarks: Given the huge confusion in the application of the name menthastri , which has been redefined on the basis of the male genitalia ( Dirickx, 1994), it is best to disregard all the older records of this species pending reexamination of the specimens. Thus the status of this species in Egypt must be regarded as doubtful.
