I found quite a lot of these large flies today at Leerdam, Netherlands. I think they are Polietes lardarius, after comparing them with photos in the gallery and in forum posts. Am I correct? Thanks in advance! Jan Zwaaneveld attached the following image:  [129.29Kb] Edited by Jan Zwaaneveld on 26-11-2006 21:31 http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |

I think that it is not P. lardarius, but P. meridionalis - yellow anterior sripacle, parafascial and anterior part of gena - yellow/golden. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

That would be nice, Nikitia, because it would be a new species to me  Are you certain? What is the colour of anterior spiracle and parafacial in lardarius then? http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |

In my collection anterior spiracle and parafacial in lardarius are dirty-greyish brown, according literature it may be also grey. And all P.meridionalis I collected in West Turkey in very late season (around 20 Dec). I think yes, I'm certain. And so, I think that your first photo with visible anterior spiracle color is good for Gallery. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
