Hi, I found this rather white faced sarcophagid fly last August on Angelica sylvestris on wet meadows in Hamburg. It looks somewhat similar to Brachycoma devia. But I couldn't really match the bristles and also this bright white face... Is it possible to get a better ID for this guy? Regards, Jan Aiwok attached the following image:  [189.51Kb] |

Those match indeed good. Thanks a lot! I dug even deeper and found this guy from August 2014. That's also Macronychia I guess? Regards, Jan Aiwok attached the following image:  [190.46Kb] |

Yes, you should have posted that directly ! Female Macronychia dolini or striginervis, you can very nicely see the ovipositor. Theo |
