    Poplar-rot Pegleg

    Myolepta lunulata is a species of syrphid fly (hoverfly) first described by Bigot in 1884. It belongs to the tribe Brachyopini within the subfamily Eristalinae. The species is known from limited observations, with records documented through iNaturalist and other biodiversity databases. Its common name, Poplar-rot Pegleg, suggests an association with decaying poplar wood and possibly distinctive leg morphology.
