| Summary: | 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.
