Hello! This was found by Gulyás Szilvia in Hungary.
I know, that Philipomyia aprica is much more common here, than graeca, but I think that this is rather graeca. The dorsal tooth on the 3rd antennal segment is big and directed forward. What do you think? Do you think that is this an aprica or a graeca?

No, this is aprica. Graeca is much more yellow on abdomen and has stylus of antenna orange as well.

Thank you! But, the stylus is black in all of the pictures I have seen about graeca. So, in graeca the whole last antennal segment has to be orange?
