Until recently, this species has been known under the name Dasysyrphus lunulatus. However, several authors have expressed doubts about the identity of Meigen´s Syrphus lunulatus, and argued that this name is actually a synonym of Syrphus venustus (see also there in the synonymy list), a species also described by Meigen. In the search for a name for the now nameless species formerly known as "Dasysyrphus lunulatus", the old description of "Musca pinastri" was unearthed. This was nomenclaturally unfortunate, because that description was vague and did not allow the unequivocal identification of "Musca pinastri" with the species formerly known as "Dasysyrphus lunulatus". This awkward situation was resolved by Locke and Skevington (2013) who have designated a neotype.
