Hello Rosevinge15, what a nice looking Tachinid. I was hoping Theo would answer already because it seems to be quite distinct. Looks like a Tachinid with a Muscid head. I got tired of waiting for an answer, so my Wife and i decided to search for similar Tachinids. Google is our friend: I think that it matches Trixa in appearance. My Wife found Trixa caerulescens and I agree that it looks similar. Now that we have an idea of what it could be, maybe Theo can reach a species. I'd love to find this one myself. I am a bit jealous  very nice work, Rosevinge15

alpina and caerulescens are often considered synonyms. they differ in the colouration of the scutellum (if they differ) THEO |

Hello Theo, "alpina and caerulescens are often considered synonyms" I wrote this down last year and i forgot about it. I always copy data from your posts. Meantime, is it incorrect to consider alpina a variation? so, would you call me an idiot if i wrote Trixa caerulescens var alpina as an id? How do you see it? do you consider it to be a synonym? I'd like to get my facts straight regarding this matter. Thank you, Theo. John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |
