Thanks to you both. I'm happy knowing that it is a Conopid; Myopa seems a possibility with 14 spp. in NA; Sicus doesn't seem to occur in NA. |

It's a Myopa indeed, the gena are high (less so in Sicus). But I agree with Jorge that the first impression is that of Sicus. In our world, this would imply M. dorsalis. But in your new world ...? Theo |
