Sphaerophata menthastri
@Peter coxhead: Hello, after I typed up the pollinator information for this species and clicked Preview, I noticed that "Sphaerophata menthastri" did not exist on the Wikipedia. I decided to search up the species on Google, and as it turns out, the name is only mentioned in online copies of the paper I was referring to, which cited the pollinator information from a different publication. Granted, the other publication was probably in Russian, but do you know if anyone could verify whether "Sphaerophata menthastri" is a real species, or if it is a typo?

- @Nicholaswei: I think it may be a typo for Sphaerophoria menthastri. Google Scholar doesn't find the genus Sphaerophata. See Sphaerophoria, where Sphaerophoria menthastri is listed (but no article yet). Peter coxhead (talk) 09:00, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Peter coxhead: Thank you very much for the help! I'll change the link, then, in case someone decides to write a Sphaerophoria menthastri article in the future. :) Nicholaswei (talk) 18:03, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
