Confirmed record of Criorhina vivida Brunetti, 1923 (Diptera, Syrphidae) in India with description of the male, and notes on the distribution and checklist of the genus in the country
Based solely on the holotype, different information sources indicate the possible presence of Criorhina vivida Brunetti, 1923 in India and Pakistan. However, none of them confirm this scenario. In this study, we confirm the occurrence of the species in India, and provide first description of the male. Additionally, we provide information on distribution, a species checklist and identification key of the genus in the country.
