The nominal taxon Syrphus bucculatus has previously been regarded as a synonym of Eupeodes luniger. However, the study of the type material revealed that there are significant differences in male genitalia morphology and Eupeodes bucculatus is now regarded as a good species (Mazanek et al. 1998).

Mazanek et al. (1998) showed that the taxon latilunulatus that has previously been regarded as a good species, is in fact identical to the taxon bucculatus, and they synonymized both names.
