Hi, Knut Rognes in his key to palearctic Calliphoridae (genera, Contributions to a manual of palearctic diptera. Vol. 3) uses a feature that I don't know: the postalar wall which is setose or bare. I've never seen this term anywhere else. Is it the surface below the postalar callus? Thank you in advance for your help. |

The Nearctic book defines it thus: "A ridge running from the anterolateral angle of the scutellum to the wing base is called the postalar ridge, and the ventrolateral surface below the postalar ridge is called the postalar wall (postalar declivity)."
