discussion
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.
