Cheilosia sahlbergi is a Palearctic hoverfly.
One of the Cheilosia species with bare eyes, black legs and fused antennal pits. For identification see references. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
From Fennoscandia south through mountainous parts of Europe to the Alps, the Balkans and the Caucasus and from Britain (Scottish highlands) eastwards through Northern Europe to the Baltic states and on to the Kola peninsula [8] [9] The habitat is near streams and base-rich flushes in moorland, montane heath, and non-calcareous subalpine grassland. Flowers visited include Caltha palustris , Potentilla erecta , Ranunculus , Saxifraga .Flies from April to May at lower altitudes and June to July in the alpine zone. The larva has been seen feeding on Polygonum viviparum L.
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 variabilis, common name figwort cheilosia, is a species of hoverfly belonging to the family Syrphidae.
Cheilosia pagana is a Holarctic species of hoverfly. Like most Cheilosia it is black, and because of this may often be overlooked as a hoverfly. One identifying feature is a large red to orange 3rd antennal segment.
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 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 latifrons is a species of 'flower flies' or hoverflies belonging to the family Syrphidae subfamily Eristalinae.
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 chrysocoma is a European species of hoverfly.
Cheilosia pubera is a Palearctic hoverfly.
Cheilosia scutellata is a Palearctic hoverfly.
Cheilosia velutina is a Palearctic hoverfly.
Cheilosia caerulescens is a Palearctic hoverfly.
Cheilosia cynocephala is a Palearctic species of hoverfly.
Cheilosia fraterna 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)
Cheilosia soror is a Palearctic hoverfly.
Cheilosia vulpina is a Palearctic hoverfly.
