Hi, I think it is Physocephala vittata, or, possibly, P. curticornis. P. lacera should have a silverish stripe between the wing base and midleg, which this fly seems to lack. (I am not an expert, though!) Best regards, Henrik Edited by piros on 18-11-2012 22:32 |

Hi, Thanks a lot. It seems there exist several very similar Physocephala sp. Regards Gabriele |

Lacera/pusilla also have the front of the wing completely black. In this specimen there is a whitish cell visible. Silverish stripe not visible though, due to the wrong angle of the picture taken. My guess would be P. vittata. |

It is a very typical P. vitiate. look at the wing coloration with the isolated spot at the wing tip and the obviously light anterior wing margin. Jens-Hermann |
