 ABSTRACT

The experiment was carried out to differentiate the three species of syrphids viz. Ischiodon scutellaris (Fabricius), Episyrphus balteatus (De Geer)and Paragusserratus (Fabricius) in Navsari condition for easy identification for the further research purpose. The major difference between species lies in body colour and shape, eyes pattern and abdominal colouration pattern.

Key words: Syrphid fly, I. scutellaris, E. balteatus, P. serratus, Morphometrics
