An integrative taxonomic approach revealed two taxa within C hrysotoxum festivum ( L innaeus, 1758) ( D iptera, S yrphidae), C . festivum A and C . festivum B . In addition to morphological differences, results also showed significant distinction in geometric morphometrics of wings and surstyli, and in DNA sequence data (nuclear ITS2 sequences) between C . festivum A , C . festivum B , and the closely related species C . elegans L oew, 1841. From examination of type material, the name C . tomentosum G iglio‐ T os, 1890 is proposed for C . festivum B , and the taxon is redefined. © 2013 The Linnean Society of London
