Orthonevra brevicornis

Description

Orthonevra brevicornis (Loew, 1843) [ERISTALINAE: BRACHYOPINI]

Chrysogaster brevicornis Loew, 1843: 269. Type locality: Poland (Poznan).

World distribution: PA:? Egypt (Shaumar & Kamal 1978), Europe (Southern Finland and Denmark south to northern France; from England eastwards through parts of central Europe [Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland] into European parts of Russia, the Caucasus and western Siberia).

Egyptian localities:?Bir Yakub [Shaumar & Kamal 1978].

Activity period in Egypt: March.

Remarks: Shaumar & Kamal (1978) recorded this species for the first time from Egypt based on a specimen collected from Bir Yakub in March 1918. However, we do not know any locality named as “Bir Yakub” in Egypt. It seems to be a Palestinian locality.
