In the tribe of Tachinini, abdomens are highly variable. I have very great differences in my collection, the following species (Tachina casta, T. fera, T. magnicornis, Peleteria abdominalis, P. rubescens). Here the abdomen of four females T. praeceps collected. christoophe attached the following image: [196.26Kb] |

Most females (in my collection) are actually much darker, with a continuous black vitta. However, at least two females in my collecition are similar, so I don't think there is a problem. The variability is large, indeed. Theo |
