Hello, can someone identify this tachinid fly? With two other specimen, it hatched out of the pupa of an Arctiidae (butterfly) species, either Phragmatobis fuliginosa or Spilarctia lutea (exact determination will follow, I hope), which I found on 16. february this year. I still have the specimen, if someone is interested. Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, Stux hill, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), 16. 02. 2018; the flies hatched 18. - 21. 03. 2018.

Not Linnaemya. Typical members of tribe Ernestiini have a projecting chin and long pedicel. This is in subfamily Exoristinae. |

A male Carcelia lucorum, a classic parasitoid of Arctiidae. So that makes total sense. Theo |

Hello Theo, thanks for determination. Even the species! I never thought that this was possible. Bernd-Otto Bennedsen determined the species of the caterpillar on lepiforum.de: Phragmatobia fuliginosa. Greetings from the Stux hill, Michael |
