Scutellum clrearly yellow. If the Veen's key has all species known... we have just two possibilities: 3.a. Frons with a longitudinal black stripe from antennal implant upwards. 11-12 mm. NL, B, D. -> Conops scutatus Meigen 3.b. Frons with a black cross stripe from one eye to the other. 11-12 mm. Mediterranean. -> Conops silaceus Meigen It is the second...  Conops silaceus. I will show why.  |

Frons with a black cross stripe from one eye to the other.. So Conops silaceus. Did you confirm?

more one photo. This leaves us to an unusual COnops flavipes. Dull thorax on the sides. What do you think? Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 20-08-2007 19:17 |

Paul, I cannot upload the jpg files!! Even with the correct size, and name it appears always this message: "Attachment file type not allowed."  |
