Hi,

this fly took a rest on a leaf close to our garden hedge. My guess would be that it might belong to the Rhinophoridae family. Is that correct?

Leaf near a garden hedge in Germany, Southern Bavaria, Munich (-West), 30.07.2023, app. 6-8 mm

Greetings, Uli

Hi Uli, from what I see, it's rather likely a female Stevenia atramentaria, now Calliphoridae - Rhinophorinae.

Hi Eric,

thank you very much for the identification. I was not aware of the taxonomic change (though it seems like that was already valid in the 1960ies), but Stevenia would have been my favourite too.

Thanks and greetings, Uli

Hello Eric,

This "new" classification seems not to be widely accepted yet. On Fauna Europaea for example Rhinophoridae is still shown as a separate family. And Pollenia is still mentioned as genus within the Calliphoridae. Not sure what classification should be followed at the moment.

Hello Jan Willem and thank you for your thoughts about this "new" classification.
I'm afraid Fauna Europaea is not up-to-date in these cases, based on this articles:
1. Rhinophorinae
"Monophyletic blowflies revealed by phylogenomics" by Liping Yan et al incl. Thomas Pape (taxonomic specialist and group coordinator FE) from 2021

2. Polleniidae:
"Reclustering the cluster flies (Diptera: Oestroidea, Polleniidae)"
by Cerretti et al from 2019

Greetings, Eric Kloeckner
