The wing length is 5 ·75-8·25 mm. Face with a conspicuous central prominence. Frons and facial prominence undusted. Thorax shining black with fine punctures. Legs entirely black. Part of the antiqua species group and difficult to determine. [3] [4] [5] [6] The larva is illustrated by Rotheray (1993) [7]
Cheilosia antiqua is a Palearctic species with a limited distribution in Europe Ireland to Central Europe and Southern Europe, Balkans, Greece, European parts of Russia. [8] [9]
The habitat is deciduous forest and unimproved pasture, including montane and subalpine pasture. Found in clearings and beside tracks in woodland and along old hedgerows. In the open in montane pasture. Flowers visited include Caltha, Cardamine, Fragaria, Iris, Ranunculusand Taraxacum.The flight period is April to June. [10] [11]
Cheilosia albipila is a European and Palearctic species of hoverfly. Like most Cheilosia it is black, and because of this may often be overlooked as a hoverfly. It is little recorded but probably widespread and common and maybe overlooked because adult flight periods are early in the year, before many hoverfly recorders are active.
Cheilosia vicina is a hoverfly species found in the Palearctic.
Melangyna lasiophthalma is a Holarctic species of hoverfly.
Cheilosia grossa is a widespread European species of hoverfly. Adults can be found in spring on sallow catkins and the larvae tunnel in the stems of various thistle species.
Cheilosia albitarsis is an abundant European species of hoverfly. Adults can be found in spring visiting buttercup flowers and this plant is also the larval hostplant.
Cheilosia bergenstammi is a widespread European species of hoverfly. Adults can be found in summer visiting ragwort flowers and this plant is also the larval hostplant.
Anasimyia lineata is a Palaearctic species of hoverfly.
Brachypalpoides lentus is a European species of hoverflies.
Eumerus funeralis or lesser bulb fly is a species of Hoverfly, from the family Syrphidae, in the order Diptera. E. funeralis appears in Peck (1988) as a synonym of E. strigatus (Fallen), but was reinstated as the correct name for tuberculatus Rondani, sensu auctorum by Speight et al. (1998).
Cheilosia impressa is a Palearctic species of hoverfly. Like most members of its genus C. impressa is a rather small, dark insect and identification can be problematic.
Cheilosia ahenea is a Palearctic species of hoverfly.
Cheilosia chrysocoma is a European species of hoverfly.
Cheilosia longula is a Palearctic hoverfly.
Cheilosia psilophthalma is a Palearctic hoverfly closely related and very similar to Cheilosia latigenis, Cheilosia mutabilis and Cheilosia urbana . It is a rare and little known species recorded from Scandinavia, Ireland, Britain, France, Poland, Switzerland, Greece, Montenegro, Serbia, Ukraine and European Russia. Flowers visited include Acer platanoides, Anemone nemorosa, Primula veris, Prunus spinosa and Salix spp. Cheilosia psilophthalma flies in April and May. Open, grassy areas within sparse woodland and unimproved, montane subalpine grassland are preferred habitats. Larvae are recorded as developing in Hieracium pilosella and Hieracium caespitosum.
Cheilosia scutellata is a Palearctic hoverfly.
Lejogaster tarsata is a Palearctic hoverfly
Cheilosia cynocephala is a Palearctic species of hoverfly.
Cheilosia fraterna is a Palearctic hoverfly.
Cheilosia sahlbergi is a Palearctic hoverfly.
