5/12 Cylindromyia gemma (Tachinidae) (male) South East Bulgaria, Gorno Pole. 20th June 2014. Altitude 520m . Hilltopping. Note the very long antennae. C. gemma is very similar to C. robusta but sternite 5 for this specimen closely matches that for C. gemma in the key linked below. Probably not previously recorded for Bulgaria (there are literature records for Greece but I think not from elsewhere in Europe). There is a nice review and key of East Mediterranean species, including C. gemma, here- "A review of the genus Cylindromyia Meigen (Diptera: Tachinidae) in Iran, with the description of two new species and the newly discovered male of C. persica Tschorsnig" Gilasian et al (researchgate.net) https://www.resea.../266388117 Steve sd attached the following image:  [105.59Kb] |

very nice. These days, gemma is quite common in the Aegeian pelagico. (unpublished). Bulgaria is another thing, of course Theo |
