Hi, I believe this is Gymnosoma, but is it possible to name the species ? Jari JariF attached the following image:  [63.45Kb] |

Looks too small for Gymnosoma and the antennae look small too - perhaps Cistogaster globosa (male)?  |

The antennae looks enough long to me for Gymnosoma. I'd say Gymnosoma nudifrons.

It's certainly possible - might just have been the funny angle - perhaps the umbellifer flowers also made it look a lot smaller than it is? Or maybe I am just trying to be too clever?  Jari - can you estimate how big this fly is? Edited by ChrisR on 17-06-2008 22:06 |

Well, I have my malaise trap near these flowers and I got today three flies, that I believe are same species and they are 7-8mm long. Jari |

Sounds good for Gymnosoma then - if you want me to have a look at them I'd be happy to take any spare tachinids you might have With a specimen and keys Gymnosoma spp. become easier - but never "easy"

Ok, thank You. Can I name this as Gymnosoma cf nudifrons or just Gymnosoma sp ? I can send You some. I will send You e-mail to the address You have in Your web site. Jari |
