This specimen was photographed by Albert Perrin in Giens (France). Who knows the species?

It's a male Sphenometopa, possibly fastuosa. (S. eluta and S. stelviana also occur in France, but I'm not sure how to separate them.)
Apart from the all-white frons and orbits, and the black basal tergites, note the dark spot on the wing (not immediately obvious in the photo).

According to Fauna Europaea these Sphenometopa sp are listed for France:
- Sphenometopa eluta (Pandell? 1895)
- Sphenometopa fastuosa (Meigen 1824)
- Sphenometopa stelviana (Brauer & Bergenstamm 1891)
- Sphenometopa variegata (Stein 1924)

Hello Crex
Sphenometopa variegata is doubtful in France, and I want to know if somebody have precision if this species is present or no in France ?

Hmm, I see you are right ... It's mentioned as doubtful on Fauna Europaea. Ren? Richet seems to be an expert on Sarcophagidae in France. You will find his email adress in this PDF.

This is indeed Sphenometopa fastuosa.
