Hello!

These Tachinids are very abundant at the moment here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. Is it Phasia aurigera?

insekteninfos.de/forum/0109/Phasia_aurigera_M1.jpg

Another one:

A female (considerably smaller) of the same species?

Hi J?rgen,

The first one looks quite similar to the species on the homepage of this site!

Hello, Jan and Paul!

Thanks a lot!

The first one looks quite similar to the species on the homepage of this site!


I should not have bookmarked directly to the forum... ;-)

I have here another Phasia (?) female from 17th Sept. 2004 with a striped thorax. Is it also P. aurigera or another species? Thanks!

So, you have managed terrific without me !
Phasia aurigera it is, first a male, about the second one I'm not 100 % sure, and the third is a female aurigera.
But beware of quite similar aurulans !!

Here I have another possible Phasia (?), photographed today here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. Most surprising was the size: it was very tiny for a Phasia, only half or two thirds the size of the other females posted in this thread.

Here two more pictures with other small flies and a nettle moth (Anthophila fabriciana) on it for comparison:

Difficult to tell.
Most likely a male Ph. obesa, which would explain the size.

Ph. barbifrons is even half this size !!

Today I also meet Phasia which looks like Phasia aurigera from Juergen Peters, but the shape of male's yellow spot on the thorax is a little bit different.
Around Moscow, 10sept, a lot on Aster amelloides and Solidago gigantea.
Still Phasia aurigera or related sp.?

And there you are: Phasia aurulans male ! (not aurigera !!)
For which I warned

The shape of the spot on the thorax is indeed characteristic, as already suggested.

Thank you Theo.
I remembered that you requested information about some Tachnida-Phasiida, but I didn't find this request.

Look in the section 'Distribution queries'.

It was about Phasia barbifrons, a very small species (3 mm.)
