A muscid, in the Coenosiini tribe.

Is there an easy way to recognize typical Coenosiini, or any of the major tribes and subfamiles? |

Coenosinii are (easily) distinguishable by the layout of katepisternal (=sternopleural) setae : 3 setae arranged in an equilateral (or at least isosceles) triangle. Of course, this is not visible on these pics. I'd add that this one looks like Coenosia attenuata / humilis, but once more, I don't know the nearctic fauna. Stephane. |

We have both species here, and also C. tigrina in the species group.
