Hello Rosevinge15, what a nice looking Tachinid. I was hoping Theo would answer already because it seems to be quite distinct. Looks like a Tachinid with a Muscid head. I got tired of waiting for an answer, so my Wife and i decided to search for similar Tachinids. Google is our friend: I think that it matches Trixa in appearance. My Wife found Trixa caerulescens and I agree that it looks similar.

Now that we have an idea of what it could be, maybe Theo can reach a species. I'd love to find this one myself. I am a bit jealous Smile

very nice work, Rosevinge15 Smile

alpina and caerulescens are often considered synonyms. they differ in the colouration of the scutellum (if they differ)

Hello Theo,

"alpina and caerulescens are often considered synonyms"
I wrote this down last year and i forgot about it. I always copy data from your posts.

Meantime, is it incorrect to consider alpina a variation?
so, would you call me an idiot if i wrote Trixa caerulescens var alpina as an id?
How do you see it? do you consider it to be a synonym?
I'd like to get my facts straight regarding this matter.

Thank you, Theo.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
