Hello forum,

Stratiomys from 10.07.2013 in Germany, South Bavaria, East-Allgäu, close to Neuschwanstein castle, ca. 850 m NN, (on wild carot – Daucus carota subsp. carota?) on a strip between a road and a meadow. Nearby forest. Length about 15 mm.

I tend to Stratyomis chamaeleon due to abdominal pattern. But I am not quite sure about it. Stratyomis potamida seems to be much more common and is S. chamaelon registered for Germany?

Looking forward to expert opinion.

Thanks in advance.

Dirk

Hello again,

I start to wonder whether this might rather be just another specimen of the recently newly-discovered Stratiomys noidea?

Your comment would be really appreciated!

Best regards
Dirk

As far as I can see it is S. chamaeleon

In the UK I'd be tempted to say Stratiomys chamaeleon, from the yellow tibiae and wedge-shaped spots on the abdomen ... but you might have other species Smile

No, Chris, I really think it is S. chamaeleon. The spots fit the description also the sternites

Hi Ruud and Chris,

thanks to both of you for your opinion!

@ Chris:
No, I think it stands between Stratiomys chamaeleon and S. potamida. I first also considered S. concinna and S. cenisa for being candidates, just by generell appearance. They look very similar, but S. concinna has a dark red/reddish 3rd antennae segment (while this fly here has completely black ones) and S. cenisa is definately not known north of the alpes.

Regards
Dirk

No, the markings on the tergites of concinna and cenisa are different.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
