Hi This fly was spotted near Sagres this week. I think this is a Craticulina tabaniformis. Do you agree? jorgemotalmeida attached the following image:  [189.62Kb] Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 22-08-2008 00:23 |

I will take a dorsal photo, but I give here some quick data colour of scutellum: pale yellowish brown color (beige) length of antennae: smaller than the width of the eye - a less more than half of its width colour of frontal stripe: yellow (not srtong) the ocellar zone is whitish.. and the base of antenna has an yellow colour and the apical half is black. Liekele I spotted about 5-6 species of Miltogramminae. I will upload the photos today and tomorrow hopefully. More later I will upload the photos of this miltogramminae fly.

This is definitly not C. tabaniformis (antennae too long and yellow) nor C. barbifera (barbe absent). It seems to fits the description of female of C. bequarti, which is described from Israel. Other possibility is C. antachates from Marocco, unknown to me. Liekele |

 great. The place is unique. I found there a new species spider for science, but i was not the first. Pedro Cardoso is describing the new Eresus. It was spotted near Sagres - the most southwesternmost point for mainland Portugal. The fly was on a very steppy dune waiting... as usual in miltogramminae flies. |
