Hullo. What tachinid is this? It's 9mm to the tip of the abdomen. At 1000 metres above sea level. Malaysia. Thanks! kyl attached the following image:  [127.92Kb] |

It is either Prosena siberita or close. I know this species occurs in Japan. But there may be more species in south-eastern Asia.

I agree - I'd commit as far as Prosena but I am pretty sure that in the oriental region there are many more species than siberita  Lovely photos though  |

According to Crosskey (1976), there are only 3 oriental Prosena: * fulvipes from Indonesia and ? Malaysia. If the name is any good, can't be this one * facialis from India, only holotype, and and... and.. * siberita, widespread in Oriental region, Malaysia included. So my bets are on siberita. Teho |
