The parasite of Noctuidae. Overwintered as pupa. From Baikal region.

Dear Victor,

Nice picture.
Still very difficult to tell which species of Tachinidae this might be.
Sorry, in this group of Goniini / Eryciini I really do need to see the material. Especially since I'm not really familiar with the fauna of the Bajkal region.

As it is such a nice photo I tried it through Peter Tschorsnig's software-based Palearctic key that allows the user to skip elements and just enter what they see. Anyway - this is how I ran it:
- medium sized (7-10mm)
- hairy eyes
- mid-tibia with 1 ad
- Cell R5 closed at the wing margin (no petiole)
- bare arista
- arista thickened on less than basal half
- tergites 3 & 4 with median discals
- facial ridge - setae on 3/5 or more
- face bare below lowest frontal bristle

At this stage we get a choice of 4 possible genera:
- Compsilura (my best guess)
- Pseudoperichaeta (hosts micro-leps?)
- Clemelis (hosts micro-leps?)
- Campylocheta (discounted because costa without strong bristle)

What do others think? Theo? Smile

Hi Chris

Nice work !
Compsilura did cross my mind and was actually my best guess, but not good enough for me to publish.
But now that you have checked the database: the other 3 genera you mention are out of the question.
Moreover, the ocellar bristles seem to be lacking, a feature of Compsilura.

So I think it is safe to say that an educated guess would be:
Compsilura. Only species; C. concinnata

This species is very polyphagous and easily reared.
Again in agreement with this case.


Thanks for your help and convincing me


Theo
