Hello Xespok, Please check an ID by Theo Zeegers (Microphthalma europaea) in http://www.dipter...ad_id=2730 P.S. Athough I'm not so sure now, the antennae look a bit different, so... Edited by Dmitry Gavryushin on 31-07-2006 15:27 |

Very different  hairy eyes, bigger eyes, bare arista, large antenna-3 ... so not Microphthalma. Something like Timavia amoena - but not enough visible to run it through the key so we're relying on "Theo's Tachinid Recognition System"  |

Which is neither magic nor fool-proof. Pity we can't see the wing venation. But I'm quite confident that is must be in the Exoristini-tribe, given the way the frontal bristles descend. In which case the hairy eyes, presence of scutellar bristles and 4 post DC would lead us to Parasetigena silvestris. A spring species indeed. Theo |

I still can't see the fold, but the bend in M is very abrupt. I have no real doubt there is a fold, implying: Parasetigena Theo |
