Berlin - May 2017 - heathland Hello everyone, I am still working through photos and i stumbled across this small black tachinid with rather large eyes. Maybe someone can place it in a genus? Thank you, John johnes81 attached the following image:  [78.36Kb] Edited by johnes81 on 19-08-2019 19:18 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Hello, I tried the gallery for similar species. Maybe i viewed it too quickly because Macroprosopa atrata seems similar. I don't like to key Tachinids so i don't really know what it is. I am just wondering if this could be Macroprosopa atrata. Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Macroposopa is much bigger. My guess, stressing guess, would be Dufouria. Theo |

Thank you for taking time to reply, Theo. A guess is better than nothing and it is a pretty good guess based upon descriptions. Atleast i have a starting point. I didn't look at the size of Macroposopa so i didn't know that it is larger. My apologies for being sloppy with this one. I am sluggish today and i have so many photos to organize. it can be brutal looking through photos. Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |
