[Taxacom] Stingless bee mimics

[Claus Rasmussen]

Hi all,



I am trying to compile a small list of insects that mimic stingless bees throughout the tropics. So far I have encountered these mimics -and references- in Syrphidae, Cerambycidae, Reduviidae, and possibly Braconidae. I wonder if any of you can provide additional groups that mimic these bees, including the expanded hindlegs?

Best wishes and thanks in advance,
?
