Hello, Pierre Duhem : France : Saint-Leu-la-Forêt : 95320 : 27/04/2017 Altitude : 183 m - Taille : 10-12 mm Réf. : 181998 I pictured this bluish fly in the Montmorency Forest (north of Paris). Is it possible to say more than Exoristinae? Thanks a lot in advance. Pierre Duhem |

There are only two bluish genera (in the western Pal.): Epicampocera and Pales. And this is not Pales.... Theo |

I think the bluish effect is an arthefact of the photograph Theo is there a possibility that this Tachinid could be Platymya fimbriata ? Edited by Renko on 06-05-2017 10:40 |

Well, there was a rwson for my cautious formulation, I did not confirm it as Epicampocera. The photo is not top quality, on first impression the fly is a bit elongated for Epicampocera. Many features are not (well) visible. Whatever it, I dont think it can be Platymyia, since the inner margin of the calypter is not darkened. But Eumea coukd definitely be an option. Theo |

Well, thanks for your comments. This is a not very good picture, but I don't think that the colour is an artefact. Pierre Duhem |
