Records ofhoverflies caught in southern Skåne in 1991 and 1998 are reported. The collec-
ting sites are described and short notes on identification, distribution, and behaviour are
given for some species. Two species, Neoascia annexa (Miiller) and Parasyrphus proximus
Mutin, are reported for the first time from Sweden, and Cheilosia himantoptrs (Panzer) is
reconfirmed for Sweden. Three species, Brachyopct insensilis CoIlin, Episyrphus baheatus
(De Geer), and Helophilus pendulus (L.), were reared. The genitalia of Cheilosi,t canitu-
laris (.Panzer) and C. himantopus, the abdomen of Neoascia annexa (Miiller) and N. tenur
(Harris), and the thorax of Temnostoma vespifonne (L.) and T. meridionaLe Krivosheina &
Mamaev are figured.
