Description
Summary:In this short note we provide the first record of the hoverfly Sphiximorpha binominata, as well as one of the few known records of Sphiximorpha subsessilis from the Iberian Peninsula. They are two of the 11 Iberian species of hoverfly thought to be threatened with extinction at the European level. We propose S. binominata as a candidate to be included in the next version of the Invertebrate Red Data Book of Spain. nema
