Hi Noel, I did further research on our spotted-eye hoverfly. It turns out Eristalinus megacephalus is of African and Palaearctic distribution. - http://www.zmuc.dk/entoWeb/collections-d.... Eristalinus arvorum and E. laetus have reported Oriental distribution. Other references: http://homepage2.nifty.com/syrphidae/tri..., http://www.clemson.edu/cafls/departments....
