OK, so Peribaea it is !

Can you tell, is the r1 vein bare or does it carry bristles ?

Hi Tor,


You are looking at the wrong vein. The bristles are there, but out of focus.
Vein R1 is the vein more frontal than you focused on, the short vein.
And now.... I need to know whether vein R1 is bare or with bristles from below / the under side !

Hi TheoSmile

Not only the R1 was out of focus yesterday. So was I awkward

I have studied the wing yesterday evening and today morning.
There are no bristles onto the R1. Completely without bristles on upper- and underside. Dorsal and lateral.

What I found on lateral side was one bristle/spine where the R2+3 and R4+5 split.

I will try to make some more pictures during the day.

Thanks a lot Theo for your help TumbsUp
best regards Tor S

Hi Tor,

As Theo mentioned earlier, there are out of focus bristles on the dorsal R1 in the above photo.I've arrowed R1 on a copy of your photo. Its the presence of bristles ventrally which determines the species,

Steve

Thanks, sd !

Don't panic, Tor,

They are out of focus, but I can see the bristles, both upper and under.

So it is Peribaea apicalis.

Hi Steve

I wrote this in my last answer to Theo:
"There are no bristles onto the R1. Completely without bristles on upper- and underside. Dorsal and lateral."

next pic.

Peribaea apicalis is never seen in Norway/north Europe.
Then we have this two P. hertingi og P. setinervis.
I guess it's possible to find out.
I'm also in contact with a norwegian Tachinide-specialist.

Hi Tor,

Thanks for posting the extra photos. First of all, I hope Theo doesn't mind if I clear up that it is tibialis which has hairs ventrally on R1 and apicalis is bare ventrally, so Theo means tibialis rather than apicalis on seeing dorsal and ventral R1 hairs.

I still think I see hairs dorsally but I'm not sure ventrally; its easier to decide if the photo is taken at an angle rather than directly above. I've circled on your photos where the hairs might be. I really think I can see about 4 bristles on the dorsal R1.

You are quite right that Haraldseide (Checklist of Norwegian Tachinidae 2012) lists just hertingi and setinervis for Norway and that both these species have R1 bare dorsally. Another difference between this pair and tibialis / apicalis is that the hairs on R4+5 should not extend much beyond m-cu for tibialis / apicalis but they do in this specimen, so I am a bit puzzled. I will check my collection for variation but I just have apicalis (several) and tibialis (one).

regards,
Steve

Just had a quick look at my specimens and the hairs on R4+5 extend well beyond m-cu which conflicts with Andersons Peribaea key first couplet in my view. So I still think this is tibialis/ apicalis and therefore a new record for Norway maybe. Of course if the specimen was male it would be trivial to rule out hertingi and setinervis !
I'll try to post photos of my specimens in the next few days.
Would be interesting to hear other opinions.
regards,
Steve

Have a look at the picture of the head.
We totally overlooked the fact that the third antennal segment is bifid !!

So it is a male setinervis / hertingi.

These cannot be separated, in my opinion, at least not by Andersons features.

Funny, in one it is bifid, in the other one it is not
Tor, is this really one and the same ??
Is it male or female ?

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
