Muscidae, but no result neither with Emden, nor Tumrasvin... Pattaya, has to be common... Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Can it not be some kind of strange Sarcophagid? Or does this kind of small curve in M excude this family?

This fly has no maral bristles, of course, I checked it at once. I looked several times through Mydaeini with no result. After 2 calmless nights I wrote this morning a letter to Dr. Pont and got quick and simple answer - I forgot that in Emden's Fauna of India genus Brontaea put in Limnophorini Brontaea flexa (Weid.) it is! Thanks all for your help. Edited by Nikita Vikhrev on 20-12-2007 13:48 Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

![header=[meral bristles] body=[The curved row of bristles on the meron (=hypopleuron). The meron is the triangular(ish) plate on the side of the thorax above and between the mid and hind coxae (the very basal segment of the legs). The presence of meral bristles distinguishes the Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae, Rhinophoridae and Tachinidae (which have them) from the Muscidae, Scathophagidae, Anthomyiidae and Faniidae (which don't). The easiest way to find the meral bristles is to find the posterior thoracic spiracle, then look a little below and in front of it.<br />
