Wing length 6.5-8.5 mm.
Sternite 2 yellow with blackish crossband. Female frons with large patches of dust. Tergites 3 and 4 with equally-sized yellow patterns Tergite 2: pale pattern always present, as broad as or broader than pattern on tergites 3 and 4. Only vague or no grey stripes on thorax.

Habitat: Abies, Picea and Pinus conifer forest and conifer plantation, montane Betula woods. [12] Arboreal, but descends to visit flowers of Caltha, Crataegus, Crepis paludosa, Euphorbia, Fragaria, Frangula alnus, Galium, Heracleum, Hieracium, Lonicera xylosteum, Prunus spinosa, Ranunculus, Rosa rugosa, Salix repens, Sorbus aucuparia and Stellaria. [13] The flight period is April to June and July (later at higher altitudes or more northerly latitudes). The larva feeds on aphids.

Eristalinus sepulchralis is a European species of hoverfly. The species are brownish-white from a close up, and look like a wasp.

The species can be found throughout Europe in the Baltic states, North Europe, Central, Southern and Western Europe and across the Palaearctic to Kamchatka, Japan, China and India.

Eristalis intricaria is a European species of hoverfly. It is a furry bee mimic, superficially resembling Merodon, though Merodon have all black leg tibiae, as opposed to partly yellow. E. intricaria is somewhat variable in colour pattern, and some attempts at naming varieties have been tentatively made. Flight time of adults in the UK are from March to September. It is generally widespread, but is seldom seen in large numbers. Habitat is woodland or marshland.
Eupeodes latifasciatus is a species of hoverfly. Adults feed on nectar; larvae feed on aphids and scale insects.

While not uncommon it is generally only seen in modest numbers, typically in lowland woods with peak numbers in late May and early June and again in late August and early September.
