14 September 2007, New Brunswick, Canada. Length: 9mm The recent discussion on petiolate veins HERE was most fortuitous as I had just caught this fly. It's a tachinid and shows a nice petiole. Possibly Phasia sp. Tony T attached the following image:  [85.41Kb] |

Thanks for the ref. I have corresponded with Steve Marshall in the past, he's in Ontario, Canada, and I will e-mail him and ask if he has any reprints of the article. |

It's certainly a phasiine but I'm not so confident to call it Phasia - there may be other genera with petioles like that in the New World.  Tony: If he has some reprints or a PDF of the article I'd be very interested to have a copy
