Very good, Gerard! You gave me the right tip. And I found the paper "A contribution to the knowledge of Brazilian Oestridae", by Adolpho Lutz, where an image that is showed in of the plates, made me suppose she is a "Cuterebra apicalis". The english version (without the plates) you will find here: http://www.scielo...18-137.pdf The three plates, I found only in the Portuguese version, in the end of the paper, just here in this link: http://memorias.i...94-113.pdf I would like to know your opinion, so, when you have time, take a look at plate #29, to compare the face you see in my photo with those that the plate shows. Thank you very much, Gerard! Regards, AC Edited by Antonio Carlos on 17-11-2012 14:50 |

Lovely fly - and lucky to find one of a group with very very few species!

Some days, a bit of luck, others, almost none! Due the color, size and tinnitus, I'm pretty sure that last week there was a fly like this, at the same place where I photographed this one in 2008, but after it overflying the bushes, seeming look for a place to land, ran away without give me chance to photograph it. Was really a frustating experience, which for a while let me with a feeling of lost. Thank you, Chris! |

Neotropical Cuterebra are badly in need of a revision. If I remember correctly, Thomas Pape once wrote about them. Lutz is 100 years old. Theo |
