SUMMARY
Eosphaerophoria adornata is one of the largest species of this genus. It is easily recognized by the tooth on the scutellum, a character shared with E. dentiscutellata and E. hermosa. It can be separated from E. hermosa by having the face entirely yellow. E. adornata differs from E. dentiscutellata in having a yellow fascia on 2nd and 5th abdominal terga, while the latter has the 2nd tergum black with lateral margin yellow and 5th tergum with two lateral yellow maculae.
