I found this rather distinctive tachinid in umbellifer flowers (actually I found two of them). Because of its distinctiveness I imagine that an ID is possible .location: Barcelos, Portugal date: 28/07/2008     |

Because of the petiole? I don't think so, to me it seems to be a tachinid but who knows? Thank you cosmln. |

remember: rhinophorids has ALMOST always small calypters. And the calypters are big here! very probably: Tachinidae. The terminalia is like a hook :

Yes, I thought of that, but in the gallery Rhinophora lepida has big calypters and that is confusing to me. |

Very interesting - thanks Rui & Leikele I have never seen this genus but, having checked the key now, it seems a good ID (within the limits of our knowledge) and it fits with the southern distribution. Maybe worth sending the photos in to the gallery too because we don't have that genus listed yet |
