Review of New World Sericomyia (Diptera: Syrphidae), including description of a new species

Abstract The 19 New World species of Sericomyia Meigen are reviewed, including one species new to North America ( Sericomyia jakutica (Stackelberg)) and one previously undescribed species ( Sericomyia vockerothi Skevington sp. nov. from Alberta, Minnesota, Northwest Territories, Quebec, and Yukon Te...
