Platycheirus sticticus (Meigen, 1822)

Notes. Reported from: Burgenland (BU) and Vorarlberg (VB). Metz (2012) gives a record from Burgenland: “Günser Gebirge, Rechnitz—Markt Neuhodis, 4.5.1995; leg. H. Metz”. The specimen, a single female (coll. Natural History Museum Vienna), was re-examined by us and it turned out to be a P. albimanus . In general, we consider the identification of P. sticticus females to be very difficult. Nevertheless, we think it is very likely that P. sticticus occurs in Austria, but we have not seen any material yet.
