Hello, is an ID of this fly possible? Body length more than 10 mm (not measured). Criorhina or maybe another genus? Thanks, Marion Germany, Saxony, in a forest in Chemnitz, 11th April 2020 Marion Friedrich attached the following image:  [203.56Kb] |

Hello Marion, a Brachypalpus female, I think. Edited by Juergen Peters on 12-04-2020 20:19 Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Brachypalpus valgus or B. laphriformis. I would prefer B. valgus as the forns in shiny and thoraic dorsum as well (at least from this angle). Also a white arista (my personal identification feature) suggests valgus. |

Hello Jürgen and treebeard, Thank you very much for ID. It seems that I have overlooked the genus Brachypalpus, because this specimen looks much stouter than other females photographed some years ago. I`ll store it as Brachypalpus cf. valgus. Here https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=48468&highlight=Brachypalpus&pid=210165#post_210165 is an old photo of another specimen from the same location photographed in June which should then be a Brachypalpus laphriformis with the dusted frons and dark arista (if nothing speaks against). Best wishes, Marion |
