Genus Microdon (Syrphidae, Diptera) in Galicia

There probably are 2 species of Microdon in Galicia:

-M. analis
-M. mutabilis
-M. myrmicae

M. analis is easy to identify because it's the only one for which the hind margin of the scutellum is black. The other two, on the other hand, are cryptic species, as shown here: https://biblio.naturalsciences.be/associated_publications/societe-royale-belge-dentomologie-koninklijke-belgische-vereniging-voor-entomologie-1/srbe-145-2009/van-de-meuter-et-al-bulletin-145-vii-xii-116-120-2009.pdf
