Eristalinae
Eristalinae (or Milesiinae) are one of the four subfamilies of the fly family Syrphidae, or hoverflies. A well-known species included in this subfamily is the dronefly, ''Eristalis tenax''. Species in this subfamily are often misclassified as bees instead of flies due to their exceptional Mimicry, especially to resemble Honeybees (family Apidae). The best strategy for proper identification is to look at their eyes and wings and compare with fly morphology, to determine membership of family Syrphidae and/or of order Hymenoptera. Taxonomy This subfamily consists of the following tribes: * Brachyopini * Callicerini * Cerioidini * Eristalini * Sericomyiini * Eumerini * Milesiini * Pipizini * Rhingiini * Spheginobacchini * Volucellini gallery Brachyopa daeckei.jpg, ''Brachyopa daeckei'' actual size Sphiximorpha subsessilis, Parc de Woluwé, Brussels (34851582946).jpg, ''Sphiximorpha subsessilis'' Namaste!

They are one of the few hoverfly genera that do not have a venia spuria in the wings.

Merodon
''Merodon'' is a large genus of bee-like hoverflies. The majority of the species are centered on the Mediterranean and it is the second largest hoverfly genus in Europe with more than 50 European species. It is distributed over the Palaearctic and Afrotropical realms, with most European species occurring in Southern and Eastern Europe. The centre of distribution of this genus appears to be Turkey, where about 65 species have been recorded. Some species occur in Africa (Morocco through East Africa and Ghana to South Africa) and the middle East, as far as Pakistan. Given the rate at which new species have been recorded over the past decades, the worldwide number of species could exceed 200. The larvae feed on the bulbs or rhizomes of monocotyledons. One of the more common species in the genus, ''Merodon equestris'' is known as the Narcissus bulb fly, greater bulb-fly, large bulb fly or large Narcissus fly.

British Entomological And Natural History Society
The British Entomological and Natural History Society or BENHS is a British entomological society. It is based at Dinton Pastures Country Park in Reading. History BENHS was founded in 1872 as the South London Entomological and Natural History Society. Publications BENHS publishes a quarterly journal, the ''British Journal of Entomology and Natural History'' (), formally Proceedings and Transactions of the British Entomological and Natural History Society, and Proceedings and Transactions of the South London Entomological and Natural History Society. BENHS has published a number of books. Among the most well-known are two illustrated identification guides to British flies: * Stubbs, Alan E. and Steven J. Falk (1983) ''British Hoverflies, an illustrated identification guide'' * Stubbs, Alan E. and Martin Drake (2001) '' British Soldierflies and their allies'' Another title published by BENHS was ''New British Beetles - species not in Joy's practical handbook'' by Peter J.

Francis Walker (entomologist)
Francis Walker (31 July 1809 – 5 October 1874) was an English entomologist. He was born in Southgate, London, on 31 July 1809 and died at Wanstead, England on 5 October 1874. He was one of the most prolific authors in entomology, and stirred controversy during his later life as his publications resulted in a huge number of junior synonyms. However, his assiduous work on the collections of the British Museum had great significance. Between June 1848 and late 1873 Walker was contracted by John Edward Gray Director of the British Museum to catalogue their insects (except Coleoptera) that is Orthoptera, Neuroptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera. Walker largely accomplished this and (Edwards, 1870) wrote of the plan and by implication those who implemented it “It is to him raythat the Public owe the admirable helps to the study of natural history which have been afforded by the series of inventories, guides, and nomenclatures, the publication of which beg ...
