how do you arrive at Bellardia and specifically pandia? do you know what color are the palpi? i can't help with Bellardia because i have no experience at all. Stephane is very good with Bellardia. at first glance, it looks like Melinda. If you have other photos it will be most helpful. John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Only according to the figure on the pronotum. Distribution is the same.  Unfortunately, there are no other photos. Thank you, John. |

the palpi will be yellow or brown for Bellardia pandia. I don't see two pv on the front tibia. the mid femora of Bellardia are supposed to be missing a preapical seta in both sexes. I believe that i see a preapical seta in the first photo. I think that Melinda viridicyanea is a better match but i have no experience with Bellardia. a second opinion is better for you. Unless contested, i think that this is Melinda. Stephane and Zeegers are very knowledgeable with Calliphoridae in addition to many other families of diptera. Wait to see if a different opinion is posted. John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Theo, Sir, you are being too modest. You are fantastic. I've seen alot of your posts about Calliphoridae. Not to mention, I would still be scratching my head about that Istochaeta. I have learned alot from you and I'm proud to say that. You are Wonderful. Armen, you now have an expert opinion. I forgot to mention that another good diagnostic character is that the presutural acrostichal setae are far removed from the suture. Thank you for taking time to post Theo. I hope that you have a pleasant day
