Hi, Recently I spent some days in a South Brandenburgian wood where I saw several female Anthomyias that were inspecting dead logs and decaying wood. The colouring points to A. procellaris, and I think I see 5 ad setae on t3. I was surprised, however, to see very long hairs on the arista. The only literature I could find (Michelsen 1980, The Anthomyia pluvialis complex in Europe) states for females of A. procellaris: "Arista with longest hairs slightly or disctinctly exceeding basal width". So I would like to know how frequently the specimens with long plumose arista occur, and if they are possibly seen as a subtaxon. Thanks for any information, Sundew Here are some specimens: Sundew attached the following image:  [184.46Kb] Edited by Sundew on 12-06-2014 21:11 |

This is because this is not Anthomyia but Eustalomyia hilaris.
