Cheilosia barbata is a Palearctic hoverfly.
Resembles several other Cheilosia. Determination is problematic. Key references include Van der Goot, V.S. (1981) [1] The male terminalia are illustrated Stubbs and Falk (1983). [2]
It is found from Fennoscandia south to central Spain and Britain east through most of Central Europe to parts of European Russia and through high altitude areas of southern Europe to Yugoslavia in deciduous woodland. Adults visit flowers of Caltha , Chaerophyllum , Crataegus , Euphorbia , Ranunculus , Sambucus , Taraxacum from May to August. [3] [4]
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 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.
Cheilosia ahenea is a Palearctic species of hoverfly.
Cheilosia antiqua is a European species of hoverfly.
Cheilosia chrysocoma is a European species of 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.
