Hi, Some weeks ago I saw several green Muscids on a meadow in southwestern Germany (south of Stuttgart) that proved to belong to Dasyphora subgenus Eudasyphora according to http://www.bio-ni...uscini.pdf. The subgenus obviously contains 3 European species. I excluded D. cyanella because the eyes are not visibly hairy and D. zimini because there are no additional 1-2 setae above the strong ad of t2. So D. (E.) cyanicolor remains. Do you agree? Thanks for any comments, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [146.24Kb] Edited by Sundew on 29-07-2016 13:00 |

This is the wrong genus : this is Pyrellia rapax : only one ia and if you have high resolution picture or the fly in hand, a bare vein R1.

Dear Stephane, what would I do without you?! So another green genus I had not heard of yet... I am afraid that the resolution of the pics will not allow to see hairs on R1, but the matter of the missing anterior ia was convincingly pointed out by Piluca in http://www.dipter...d_id=49116. So I add it to my list of distinguishing characters between the greenies... Many thanks indeed! |
