Wing venation of
Eristalis. Shows, especially, "spurious vein" (
s), marked with stippling. This is a characteristic of most
Syrphidae. (See also
Flower Flies of Kentucky.)
Other labeled veins and regions:
C=costal region, Sc = subcostal vein
h = humeral vein (a branch of Sc extending into humeral angle of the wing--ref = Borror Field Guide Insects)
R1, R2+3, R4+5 = radial veins (2+3 and 4+5 fused)
M1+2 M3 = medial veins (1+2 fused)
r-m = radial-medial (or "anterior") cross-vein
Cu1, Cu2 = cubital veins
A = anal vein
More details later, I hope.
