Diagnosis.

Medium sized (7.1-10.9 mm), short pilose dark species with olive-brown reflection; antennae dark brown; legs mostly black; body pile predominantly pale yellow, except black pile on vertex and scutum, terga 2-4 in some specimens and apical one third of femora in some specimens and populations; basoflagellomere elongated (1.7-2.2 times as long as wide) obviously concave dorsally, arista short (Fig. 3 View Figure 3 ); tergum 2 usually with small pale orange-yellow lateral maculae (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 ); metafemur incrassate, ca. three times longer than wide, with short pilosity, except few long pile on postero- and anteroventral surface of metafemur (Fig. 4 View Figure 4 ); male genitalia: apical part of anterior surstyle lobe triangular (Fig. 1A View Figure 1 : al, C, D); posterior surstyle lobe with lateral hump (Fig. 1A, B View Figure 1 : lp); lingula large (Fig. 1E View Figure 1 : l).

Redescription

(based on the types and specimens from the type area of nominal taxon, Iberian Peninsula; variability includes populations from all of the range). Male. Head. Antennae black to dark brown; basoflagellomere (Fig. 3A-C, G-J View Figure 3 ) elongated, 1.7-2.2 times as long as wide, and 2.5-3 times as long as pedicel, concave dorsally, tapering to the apex; dorsolateral and dorsomedial (if present) fossette large with variable shape (see variability) (as on Fig. 3 View Figure 3 ); arista dark and thickened at basal one third, covered with dense microtrichia; arista short, 1.2-1.5 times as long as basoflagellomere (Fig. 3 View Figure 3 ); face and frons black with gray microtrichia, face covered with dense whitish, and frons with yellowish gray pile; oral margin shiny, with small lateral microtrichose area; lunule shiny black, bare; eye contiguity 8-10 facets long; vertex isosceles, shiny black, except in front of anterior ocellus, covered with microtrichia; vertex with long, pale whitish yellow pile, in some cases mixed with few black pile on the ocellar triangle; ocellar triangle from equilateral to isosceles (see variability); occiput with gray-yellow pile, ventrally covered with a dense, gray microtrichia; eyes covered with dense whitish pile (Fig. 5A, B View Figure 5 ); ratio of length of vertical triangle: eye contiguity: frons = 3: 1: 3.

Thorax. Scutum and scutellum black with bronze luster, covered with dense, erect, usually yellow pile; scutum at wing basis in some specimens and populations with patch of black pile, or with fascia of black pile between wing basis; scutum usually with two or four microtrichose vittae (see variability), anteriorly connected and posteriorly reaching the scutellum (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ); anterior half of scutum from dull until shiny black (see variability); posterodorsal part of anterior anepisternum, posterior anepisternum (except anteroventral angle), anterior anepimeron, dorsomedial anepimeron, and posterodorsal and anteroventral parts of katepisternum with long, dense pale yellow pile and grayish microtrichia; wings entirely covered with microtrichia; wing veins brown; calypteres pale yellow; halteres yellow, in some cases with dark capitulum; legs (Fig. 4 View Figure 4 ) without spinae or other protuberances; legs mostly black, except brown tarsi ventrally in some specimens; pile on legs pale yellow, except black pile at apical one third of metafemur in some populations (see variability); metafemur moderately incrassate, ca. three times longer than wide; long pile on postero- and anteroventral surface sparse, and ca. one third to one fourth (see variability) of width of metafemur, approximately the same length as pile on dorsal surface (Fig. 4 View Figure 4 ).

Abdomen. Tapering posteriorly, ca. 1.2 times longer than mesonotum; terga dark brown to black, except for a pair of pale yellow-orange, triangular, lateral maculae on tergum 2 (in some specimens less visible: see variability); terga 3 and 4 each with a pairs of white microtrichose, oblique fasciae (on tergum 2 triangular); color of pile on terga variable, from all yellow to specimens with many black pile on terga 2-4 (see variability) (Fig. 2C, D View Figure 2 ); sterna dark brown, covered with long whitish yellow pile.

Male genitalia. Apical part of anterior surstyle lobe triangular shape, 1.1-1.4 times longer than wide, covered with dense, short pile (Fig. 1A View Figure 1 : al, C, D); posterior surstyle lobe oval with basolateral protrusion (lateral hump) (Fig. 1A, B View Figure 1 : bp, 14C: bp); cercus rectangular (Fig. 1A View Figure 1 : c); hypandrium sickle-shaped, without lateral projections; lingula large (Fig. 1E View Figure 1 : l).

Female. Similar to the male except for normal sexual dimorphism and for the following characteristics: antennae with rounded tip, basoflagellomere ca. two times longer than wide, fossette dorsal (Fig. 3D-F View Figure 3 ); frons with microtrichose vittae along eye margins variable in shape and size (see variability); frons covered with variable color of pilosity, from mostly gray-yellow until predominately black (see variability) (Fig. 5C, D View Figure 5 ); ocellar triangle covered with black pile; lateral side of terga, anterior two third of tergum 2 and all tergum 5 with yellow pile; central part of terga 2-4 with short adpressed black pile; microtrichose fasciae on terga 3 and 4 conspicuous (Fig. 2D View Figure 2 ).

Variability.

There is some intra- and interpopulation variability in the morphological characters of Merodon serrulatus , which are summarized in Table 1 View Table 1 .

Distribution.

As shown in Fig. 7 View Figure 7 , this Merodon taxon is characterized by the greatest range, extending from Iberian Peninsula in the south-west, through Greece and eastern Turkey to the south, and eastward to Siberia and Mongolia (Doczkal pers. comm.).

Ecology.

Preferred environment: forest/open ground; thermophilous Quercus forest; Castanea forest ( Ståhls et al. 2009), evergreen oak forest ( Quercus ilex L. and Q. suber L.), dry Pinus forest; lentisc scrub; dry, well-vegetated, calcareous and non-calcareous unimproved grassland and tracksides; hedgehog heath ( Speight 2018); Pinus , Picea , and Larix forests (Siberia) (Fig. 35B View Figure 35 ). Flowers visited: Umbelliferae ; Cirsium spp., Helianthemum spp., Potentilla spp., Rosa spp., Thapsia spp., and Thymus spp. ( Speight 2018). Flight period: April-August.
