Systematic list ofspecies recorded in the
Faroe Islands
Twenty-seven hoverfly species from six
tribes are recorded in the Faroe Islands,
most of them by the author. In the section,
"Caught in the following places", the letter
“A” is used when the species was only
caught in the respective area before 1927
(Lyneborg, 1968). No hoverflies were reg-
istered between 1927 and 1992 in the Faroe
Islands. Under the reference term, “Distri-
bution”, neighbouring countries include
Iceland, Shetland, and/or the rest of the
UK, Ireland, and Norway. New hoverflies
to the Faroes are marked with an asterisk

Subfamily SYRPHINAE
Tribe BACCHINI
*Xanthandrus comtus (Harris, 1780)
Vevjarasveima
Distribution: Known in all neighbouring countries,
except Iceland and Shetland.
Status: Immigrant.
Remarks: Only caught once.
Caught in the following places:
Nólsoy: 1 female on 22 September 1998.
Melanostoma sp. (Schiner, 1860)
Distribution: Occurs in all neighbouring countries.
Status: Resident.
Remarks: It is the most numerous and widespread
genus. There are some goođ specimens of M. melinum
and some good specimens of M. scalare, but a number
of intermediates have been caught as well. It is unclear
at the present moment if this reflects a mere variation
of males (no variation in females has yet been found)
or if this is the presence of new species. Therefore,
they are only treated as genus.
Flight period: 28 May to 31 September.
