hi flyforum, Yesterday I catched this Tachinidae inside my parents house. It unfortunatlely drowned in some waterdrops which I submitted to the bottle. That's why the fly look's a bit wetty.. It is Tachinidae? (I can't see darkening in the wing) and the veins looks Tachinidae. What kind of tachinidae is it? greeting Robert Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [97.76Kb] Edited by ChrisR on 23-06-2010 13:26 Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

Does it have a proper, rounded, full subscutellum? Could it be a rhinophorid?

I'm sure it does not have a proper subscutellum, because it is a Rhinophorid: Phyto melanocephala. Liekele |

I suspected it ... I am just not good on rhinophorids because I see then very rarely here (except Rhinophora and Paykullia)

hi Chris and Liekele, Yes, it must be a rhinophorid. (it was my first idea, but I got confused by missing darkened teints in the wing) It is not a characteristic indoor-rhino, more a flower-rhino.. Thanks for helping, Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

Hi Robert Could you please PM the details on locality ? Phyto melanocephala used to be restricted to the river area and Zuid Limburg, but has spread rather rapidly in recent years Thanks Theo |
