I found this platypezid and I'd like to know the species it belongs to. It looks like a Callomyia species, is it possible to know which one? I'd also like to know if something about this species’ biology is known? location: Barcelos, Portugal date: 26/04/2010 Rui Andrade attached the following image:  [130.7Kb] |

Thoracic pattern says female speciosa: median dark area much broadened near anterior margin of mesonotum. Abdominal pattern is somwhat variable making it possible to confuse speciosa and amoena, but the majority of characters given in the descriptions also seem to point towards speciosa.

And about biology / larval biology, you can found the information in this article: On Biology of Xylobiont Platypezid Larvae of the Genus Callomyia (Diptera, Platypezidae) N. P. Krivosheina 2008 Abstract> http://www.spring...pdf?page=1 Not yet recorded from Portugal! Edited by michal tkoc on 05-05-2010 12:51 Curator of Diptera, Entomology Department, National Museum Prague.
