Hello! When I found this fly on March 21 among many Muscidae and Calliphoridae sucking juices on an freshly cut tree trunk I thought of some kind of Scatophagidae, but in another forum someone told me it could be a syrphid of the genus Brachyopa. Is he right? Thanks in advance!

It is a species of Heleomyzidae, I think.

Hello Juergen, As in a lot times, Paul beat me to it and was just a click faster!  But indeed, I want to confirm that this is surely NOT a Brachyopa sp. In this picture the best characteristic is the shape and color of the head, which is different in Brachyopa! Look for example at: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/cyrille.dussaix/Brachyopa_pilosa/B.pilosa-illus.htma Most of the Brachyopa's have a distinct snout which is not there in this picture! So I support Paul's idea of it being a species of Heleomyzidae! Greetings, Edited by Gerard Pennards on 25-03-2005 21:55 Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
