Eristalis horticola ( De Geer, 1776) [ ERISTALINAE : ERISTALINI ]
Musca horticola De Geer, 1776: 140 . Type locality: Sweden.
World distribution: OR: India. PA: Algeria,? Egypt, Europe (Fennoscandia southwards; from Ireland eastwards through much of Europe into Russia and on through Siberia to the Pacific coast (Sakhalin )), Morocco, Tunisia.
Egyptian localities: Unknown.
Activity period in Egypt: Unknown.
Remarks: Eristalis horticola was listed as recorded from Egypt "in the literature" by Steyskal & El-Bialy (1967), repeated by Peck (1988), but no specimens or published records were found in either the Egyptian collections or in the literature listed by Steyskal & El-Bialy. We assume that the name horticola was a misidentification, or perhaps simply a mistake.
