Cheilosia fraterna is a Palearctic hoverfly.
A Cheilosia with dark eye hairs, glossed sternites and a low facial prominence [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] The larva is described and figured by Rotheray (1994). [9]
It is found from Fenno-Scandia south to the Pyrenees (montane in southern parts of its range) and from Britain eastwards through Central Europe into European Russia and on into much of Siberia. [10] [11] The habitat is deciduous forest of Quercus and Fagus along streams and rivers. Flowers visited include Caltha , Ranunculus , Stellaria , Taraxacum .Flies from April to June (at higher altitudes July to September. The larva mines Cirsium palustre and species of Carduus .
Eupeodes luniger is a common species of hoverfly.
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 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 antiqua is a European species of hoverfly.
Cheilosia longula is a Palearctic hoverfly.
Cheilosia scutellata is a Palearctic hoverfly.
Cheilosia semifasciata is a Palearctic hoverfly.
Cheilosia griseiventris is a Palearctic hoverfly. It is not considered as distinct from Cheilosia latifrons by most European workers. It is variously treated in other and older works.
Cheilosia lasiopa is a Palearctic hoverfly. This species was previously misidentified as Cheilosia honesta.
Cheilosia nigripes is a Palearctic hoverfly.
Cheilosia praecox is a Palearctic hoverfly. Speight et al. (1998) indicate that the correct name for this species is C.urbana (Meigen)
