Hi, This is a tachinidae I have in stock since a while. But still, I can't manage to even find a convincing genera name. i used "central european key" and it lead me (hardly) to Masicera. It doesn't look really similar on picture I found. Do you have any idea? From north France, in a glade.  clovis : France : Péronne-en-Mélantois : 59273 : 19/06/2014 Altitude : 26 m - Taille : 12 mm Réf. : 199088 |

Clearly a Lydella, looks like thompsoni. So, what was the habitat ? Theo |

It's in a swampy area. In the plants on side of a pool |

OK, that does not exclude any Lydella. As said, long third antennal segment suggests thompsoni. Theo |

Just try to follow the key on this genus, but failed. Front doesn't seems really large, but I don't get the idea of the pruinosity and the marginales. Wich angle of the dry specimen would help to be more confident on the specie? Arista? |

A good lateral view on the antenna (it is hidden, now) a dorsal view on the abdomen, obliquely from behind the wing. Theo |

Is it the good angle for abdomen? clovis : France : Péronne-en-Mélantois : 59273 : 19/06/2014 Altitude : 26 m - Taille : 12 mm Réf. : 199209 |

Can't do better than that for the antenna.  clovis : France : Péronne-en-Mélantois : 59273 : 19/06/2014 Altitude : 26 m - Taille : 12 mm Réf. : 199210 Edited by clovis on 26-01-2018 14:34 |

Thanks for you patience to stay with me. Lydella is a pretty tricky genus. Theo |
