I'm not familiar with Cylindromyia and this inexperience creates doubt. I have read some keys for the Central European species but I am hoping that an expert can weigh-in. I see that apical scutellars are present. I count two pairs of scutellar bristles. I see that the hind tibia has two posteroventral bristles. The species measures 8mm. I am thinking that it should be Cylindromyia auriceps. confirmation? I can make more photos. I have the specimen. johnes81 attached the following image: [51.47Kb] Edited by johnes81 on 07-07-2017 22:30 |

I've looked at the keys from Tschorsnig und Herting for this one. I apologize for my sloppy post with incorrect data. Following Tschorsnig, I determine this specimen to be auriceps. The discal bristles are the determining factor. hind tibia without pv bristle: bicolor, brevicornis, pilipes, rufifrons, xylotina hind tibia with pv bristle, without apical scutellar bristles: interrupta, pusilla hind tibia with pv bristle, with apical scutellar bristles: auriceps, intermedia intermedia is supposed to be missing median discal bristles. Thank You for your time. |

There is no need to apologize. Cylindromyia are tricky and your ID is totally correct ! Theo |

Thank You very much for confirmation. I value your expertise and Time. Yes. Cylindromyia are tricky. I have discovered that much care is required for determination. If you need a photo for the gallery, then let me know. I do not mind granting permission for exclusive display at diptera.info. I wish for you a Wonderful Day. Thanks Again |

the photo in this thread? I just slapped it together for this post. I made a studio photo for the gallery instead. I have no problem with diptera.info using the one above too. I wil attach the studio photo here for you to look at. If you need a photo for this species, then I grant permission for the display of the image at diptera.info gallery. Have a Great Day. johnes81 attached the following image: [76.09Kb] |
