Eristalinus

	Eristalinus ''Eristalinus'' is a genus of hoverfly. Most species have very distinctive eye marking in the form of spots or banding, though these features may fade on some preserved specimens. Most are stout flies, and are nimble flyers, even compared to other hoverfly species. Systematics At one time the members of this genus were divided into three clades (''Eristalinus'', ''Eristalodes'' and ''Lathyrophthalmus'') based on morphological characters such as whether the eyes were spotted or striped. Recently Pérez-Bañon ''et al.'' studying the European species of ''Eristalinus'' using a combination of molecular data and male genitalia characters have determined that the genus in Europe at least, divides neatly into two clades - ''Eristalinus'' (+ ''Lathyrophthalmus'') & ''Eristalodes''. It was also discovered that the eye patterning was not taxonomically important as ''Eristalodes'' contained members with eyes either spotted or striped. The following list is an attempt to organise some of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Eristalinus Aeneus ''Eristalinus aeneus'' (Scopoli, 1763), the common lagoon fly, is a fairly common species of syrphid fly observed throughout the United States and Europe. Hoverflies can remain nearly motionless in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen. The larvae occurs along shorelines in rock pools containing large amounts of decaying seaweed. Description ''For terms see Morphology of Diptera'' The wing length is 6.5–9.25 mm. The eyes are patterned with obvious black spots. Tergites 2 and 3 are completely shiny. The thoracic dorsum has faint greyish stripes (in Southern Europe it has five strong grey stripes). In males the eyes meet on the frons. In females the eyes are bare on the lower half. The hind tibiae have a black ring after middle, and all tarsi with segments 2–4 darkened. The male genitalia are figured by Pérez-Bañón et al (2003). The larva is figured ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Eristalinus Sepulchralis ''Eristalinus sepulchralis'' is a European species of hoverfly. The species are brownish-white from a close up, and look like a wasp. From a distance though, they are yellowish-black coloured, and look like a bumble bee. 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. Finland, Great Britain, Hungary, Ireland, Norway, and the Netherlands. Technical DescriptionExternal images For terms see Morphology of Diptera Dipteran morphology differs in some significant ways from the broader morphology of insects.

	Eristalini Eristalini is a tribe of hoverflies. Several species are well-known honeybee mimics, such as the drone fly ''Eristalis tenax'', while other genera such as '' Helophilus'' and '' Parhelophilus'' exhibit wasp-like patterns of yellow and black stripes, both strategies to avoid predation by visual predators such as birds. They breed in decaying organic materials such as run-offs from dung heaps ('' Eristalis'') or in ponds and ditches (e.g. '' Anasimyia''). Some others, such as ''Myathropa'' and '' Mallota'', breed in wet rotting tree stumps and rot holes. A characteristic feature of this tribe is the " rat-tailed maggot" with a rear positioned telescopic breathing tube, allowing the larvae to breathe while living submerged in water or mud. This feature is also shared with another hoverfly tribe the Sericomyiini though those flies do not share the characteristic eristaline dip in wing vein R4+5.

	Eristalina Eristalina is a subtribe of hoverflies with 17 genera. Several species are well-known bee mimics, such as the drone fly (''Eristalis tenax''). The larvae live in aquatic and moist organic material, often with low oxygen levels using a posterior breathing tube, thus the common name—the "rat-tailed maggot Rat-tailed maggots are the larvae of certain species of hoverflies belonging to the tribes Eristalini and Sericomyiini. A characteristic feature of rat-tailed maggots is a tube-like, telescoping breathing siphon located at its posterior end. Thi ...". References {{Syrphidae-stub Eristalinae Insect subtribes ...

	Camillo Rondani Camillo Rondani (21 November 1808 – 17 September 1879) was an Italian entomologist noted for his studies of Diptera. Early life, family and education Camillo Rondani was born in Parma when the city was part of the French Empire Napoleon having crowned himself King of Italy. The Rondani family were wealthy landowners and of "rich and of ancient origins" with ecclesiastical connections preliminary. Camillo's early education was in a seminary. He then passed into the public school system where, encouraged by Macedonio Melloni his physics and chemistry teacher in the preparatory course for the University of Parma, he did not attend the law lessons though his family had insisted. He attended mineralogy classes given by a Franciscan priest Father Bagatta and was taught natural history, a complementary course to botany for Medicine and Pharmacy. The Reader of Botany to the Athenaeum Parmesan was Professori Giorgio Jan, assistant at the Imperial Museum in Vienna and holder ...
