The early stages of three Palaearctic species of saproxylic hoverflies (Syrphidae, Diptera)

The third stage larva and puparium of the cerioidine hoverflies, Ceriana vespiformis (Latreille, 1804) and Sphiximorpha subsessilis (Illiger in Rossi, 1807) and the milesine, Spilomyia digitata (Rondani, 1865) (Diptera, Syrphidae) are described from specimens collected in the field. Ceriana vespifor...

Description
Summary:The third stage larva and puparium of the cerioidine hoverflies, Ceriana vespiformis (Latreille, 1804) and Sphiximorpha subsessilis (Illiger in Rossi, 1807) and the milesine, Spilomyia digitata (Rondani, 1865) (Diptera, Syrphidae) are described from specimens collected in the field. Ceriana vespiformis and S. digitata larvae were obtained from wet, decaying roots and tree holes of Fraxinus angustifolius L., respectively, in Spain and S. subsessilis from an exudation of sap on an Abies alba Miller tree in France.
