Check-list of Syrphidae from Saxony, Germany

(last updated: 20.IV.2005)

The presented check-list of Syrphidae from Saxony, Germany, (Freistaat Sachsen) is mainly compiled from the work by Pellmann & Scholz (1996), papers published thereafter and own findings. For a detailed literature survey on Saxonian Syrphidae click here.
Species names are according to the check-list of German Syrphidae (Ssymank et al. 1999) and the first supplement to it (Doczkal et al. 2002). Synonyms are only given where changes had to be made regarding to Pellmann & Scholz (1996).

So far unpublished records from Saxony (included in the list)

October 2001 - Dresdener Heide: Chamaesyrphus lusitanicus Mik, 1898

323 species of Syrphidae are believed to occur in Saxony.

Syrphinae	115
Microdontinae	4
Eristalinae	204

8 doubtful species (Baccha obscuripennis, Dasysyrphus postclaviger, Brachypalpus meigeni, Cheilosia omissa, Ferdinandea nigrifrons, Pipiza fasciata, Pipiza notata, Pipiza signata).
L: 29 - amongst these species are two with an uncertain status (B. obscuripennis, B. meigeni)

For 294 species exist reliable, checked records (including doubtful species).
277 species have been recorded after 1980 (including doubtful species).

Cheilosia ruralis (Meigen, 1822) = Cheilosia mutabilis (Fallén, 1817)
Cheilosia praecox (Zetterstedt, 1843) = Cheilosia urbana (Meigen, 1822)

Eristalis vitripennis auctt. nec Strobl, 1893 = Eristalis vitripennis var. pseudorupium Kanervo, 1938 = Eristalis pseudorupium Kanervo, 1938 stat. nov.
The name Eristalis horticola (De Geer, 1776) is unjustified. The species has to be called Eristalis lineata (Harris, 1776).

Chrysotoxum fasciatum (Müller, 1764) = Chrysotoxum arcuatum (Linnaeus, 1758)
Chrysotoxum arcuatum sensu Thompson, Vockeroth & Speight (1982) nec (Linnaeus, 1758) = Chrysotoxum festivum (Linnaeus, 1758)
