This doesn't look like a syrphid fly to me. Can it be Mesembrina mystacea?? It's a guess but I saw a few pictures of this species which seem to match with this one. But again I'm not completely sure.  |

I'm convinced that this can't be a syrphid. It's clearly a calyptrate fly. But about the species I'm not entirely sure, but actually i can't think of another calyptate fly that has such resemblance to a syrphid fly than mystacea. My doubt is born from the fact that i'm not very experienced in keying out calyptrate flies. |

No it is not a syrphid. it is in my opinion too Mesembrina mystacea. Take a look here: http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=5232&pid=23443#post_23443 Best wishes, Amalia Edited by amalia_raluca on 15-05-2007 08:13 |

Better look and your arguments convince me, that it isn't Syrphidae. So Pia you get an answer, it is Mesembrina mystacea ? Muscidae and forget what I say! Regards lema |
