Hello Nacho Cabellos,

A species of Hippobosca. Because the scutellum is entirely light I'd say Hippobosca longipennis. A species parasitic on carnivores. But, according to fauna-eu, not present in Spain. For a better ID a specimen would need to be collected.

Kind regards,

Ectemnius

It is not from a zoo, is it ?

It actually looks like an Afrotropical species.

Any more pictures available ?

Theo

Hi Theo & Nacho Cabellos,

Actually the species appears to be common in the Sierra Morena on Foxes and Iberian Lynx (https://www.resea...s_in_Spain)

Ascan be seen in the following examples the habitus and pale scutellum resemble the one in the photo
(https://parasites...3305-4-143) & (https://www.biodi...04557.html ) & (https://diptera.i...d_id=66370)

Also there's a photo from an Isrealian specimen here on diptera.info (https://diptera.i...d_id=63458). As the host is a cat and the scutellum is also pale that would also make this H.longipennis. Or is that an too easy conclusion?

Kind regards,

Ectemnius

Well, the last pic convinced me of longipennis.
In some equina, the scutellum is 85 % light, only dark in the corners. This can be very tricky !
The colour of the wing venation, largely pale with only a very few dark vrossvein, is characteristic according to Theodor.

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
