Betasyrphus hirticeps ( Loew, 1858) View in CoL [ SYRPHINAE : SYRPHINI ]
Syrphus hirticeps Loew, 1858: 378 View in CoL . Type locality: Sudan (Nubia).
World distribution: AF: Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan. PA:? Egypt.
Egyptian localities:?Upper Egypt [ Loew 1858].
Activity period in Egypt: Unknown.
Remarks: Shaumar & Kamal (1978) listed Syrphus hirticeps Loew, 1858 as recorded from Egypt based mainly on the fact that “Nubia”, the type locality of the species, is a name of a region extending between Egypt and Sudan. However, no specimens of the species could be found in any Egyptian collection. Accordingly, we think this Afrotropical species was described from Sudan, and not from Egypt.
