Status
Laphria divisor can be a relatively common fly in deciduous forests in June or July. This species can be distinguished from the superficially similar posticata by noting the color of the scutellar bristles (short and black on posticata, longer and yellow on divisor), and by checking the distribution of yellow pile on the abdomen. L. posticata shows yellow mostly on tergites 3-5, while divisor has yellow primarily on tergites 4-6.
