Send it to me please..  (I hope you caught it!). I have to be very careful, but this could maybe be a new species for the Canaries... |

I am sorry to say that I did not caught it. So, I cannot send the fly to you. (I photograph and do not collect.) |

Eumerus purpurariae Baéz, 1982 Incorrectly synonymized with E. etnensis van de Goot, 1964, by Marcos-Garcia & Pérez-Bañón (2000), reinstated by Smit et al. (2004). John |

I was hoping you came to see this post! In my papers (like the description by Baez) I read nothing about the reddish spots on T2, while it seems quite clear. That must have caused my confusion. |

All specimens clearly have these reddish orange spots on the abdomen. The description by Baéz is indeed puzzling, to say the least... John |

Thanks! Some re-description somewhere someday would be nice But must say, that the broadened basotarsa of leg 3 is quite well visible on the pics. |

There is no redescription, but I gave a comparison with E. etnensis in my Madeira paper, characterizing both species enough for identification. John |
