When I look at this I think Muscidae but then shouldn't there be at least a little bend of that vein to the tip of the wing? And then if scathophagidae there should be another cross vein I also can't see ... ok, you can laugh, I know I need help  BTW, my book goes on talking about veins 1, 2, 3, 4 ... and that is not the way people is talking here! Can you suggest a place to see a translation and which vein is which?  About the size of a regular house-fly, say ... 7-8mm, 2003/05/01, center of Portugal, path amongst crop fields digitalg attached the following image:  [105.06Kb] Armando Frazão http://bugs.digit... |

Hi Armando. Vein M1+2 easy to find, it has fore- and hind- crossveins. And in your case vein M1+2 do not curved forward. And it is exactly as it has to be in Muscidae (or as well Anthomyiidae). Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Is this maybe Phaonia errans again? For the names of the veins, go to the link in Miscellaneous called Anatomical Atlas. I sympathise - I can never remember which is called what and spend half my life looking this stuff up. Edited by Susan R Walter on 11-08-2006 12:59 Susan |
