Ansbach, garden near Frankenhoehe Nature Park, old deciduous forest, 2023-08-16
on Euonymus japonicus
tachinidae.eu led me to a male Clemelis, but the wing venation looks like C. majuscula from Southern France. Is Clemelis correct? Not correct: male Compsilura concinnata
Thank you for your comments, Eric

I am thinking male Compsilura and the ocellars seem missing …. you can check the original.

Thanks for the many angles !

Thank you so much Theo! My silly mistake: I don't no why, but I've excluded Compsilura because I thought it should have bare eyes - which is of course not true! And yes, no ocellars!

I see Compsilura frequently on Buxus (looking for Cydalima perspectalis, the Buxusmot?)

Nice. Compsilura is highly polyphagous, and I think the only Tachinidae regularly found in both Lepidoptera and Symphyta.
And yes, it is atypical for a Blondeliini in having hairy eye, 4 post DC and so on. Males therefore are tricky.

Compsilura is still common in southern Europe, but has become extremely rare if not extinct in large areas of central Europe, I haven’t found it since my youth. No idea what is happening.

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
