Hi,
Here I do not know where to put it. At a first glance I sorted it whith Rhingia (don't laugh!), but I have a lot of real Rhingia photographs that show only a very superficial resemblance. So please let me know the name of this nice fly, and I won't forget it anymore...
Many thanks, Sundew

It would be convenient if you then also told us that it is Stomorhina lunata of the Calliphoridae. Then we would not have to visit the link first. Wink

Sure, all the pics I am posting at the moment come from my summer photoshooting on the Baltic Island of Usedom. This one is from a small town named Karnin in the southwest part of the island.
Cordially, Sundew

In faunaeur.org this species still has the status 'doubtful' for Germany. Thought it's confirmed for countries like the Netherlands, Poland and Finland. But then again, not for countries like the Baltic states, Sweden and Denmark...

Faunaeur.org is definitely wrong in this.

Stomorhina lunata has made a tremendous expansion northwards in the last, say, 10 years. Twenty years ago I would have been amazed by this record, now I'm not the least surprised.

The single Finnish record of very old and from a greenhouse, so it may be imported. Then again, I expect we will soon find this fly expanding into the country... Smile

That's all very interesting indeed. Another indication of global warming!
Though this species's occurrence is obviously no longer surprising, I wonder whether, in general, interesting records that are presented in the forum are tracked by the specialists in charge. Once I had a query by Danny Wolff who wanted to add my finding to a distribution map, but the locality proved already known. I do not know which institutions carry out mapping of the taxa and who should be informed (and possibly presented with a dead specimen). On the other hand is, as is often pointed out, our knowledge of the European dipteran fauna still rather incomplete. So I consider this forum, with the many collaborators, a treasury, but who will pick the real jewels?
Best wishes, Sundew

I expect all flies found in Sweden will end up in Artportalen, although only Syrphidae is available so far. I know there are National Report Systems also in Netherlands, Denmark, Romania and New Zealand.

As far as I know, diptera.info is not concerned as an official publication board. So if one has found interesting stuff, best is to publish it on paper. Nevertheless I asume that if anything interesting is shown here, the right people will pick it up if needed.
