Syrphophagus aeruginosus (Dalman, 1820) View in CoL

Material examined. 2 ♀♀, Matsuyama, 2.vi.1955, T. Tachikawa lgt., G. Japoshvili det. ; 1 ♀, Matsuyama, ex Episyrphus balteatus , 2.vi.1955, T. Tachikawa lgt., G. Japoshvili det. ( ELKU) .

Distribution. Japan: Shikoku (new record). New record for Japan. Oriental, Palaearctic ( NOYES 2016).

Comments. TACHIKAWA (1963) initially identified the above material as Syrphophagus nigrocyaneus Ashmead, 1904 but we found that they actually belong to S. aeruginosus . These specimens are labelled as “ Paratype ”, which is undoubtedly an error and they have no type status, as S. nigrocyaneus was described by ASHMEAD (1904).
