Am I correct that is a tachinid? Could someone provide a further ID? Found in Suriname.

Looks like a typical Doleschaliini. Theo |

Interesting; by searching online for Doleschaliini, I get several leads to this forum where your IDs for Doleschaliini that are very similar to mine turn out to be Sophiini. Doleschaliini also yields very few online photos, with quite a bunch of Sophiini, especially North American Cordyligaster septentrionalis. Could mine be a Cordyligaster too?

Maybe I am wrong, maybe someone split Doleschaliini, since they occur in the Neotropics and Oriental region, which is a bit weird (but not impossible). Neotropics is not my thing I need to look into it. Theo |

Doleschallini is now confined to the Australasian and Pacific regions if you believe the Canadians, and considering their superior database technology you really have no choice. I don't have literature for most of the South American species. I expect this is something close to Cordyligaster. If you want to research, see Guimarães, J.H. 1971. Notes on the genus Cordyligaster Macquart, with the description of a new species from Brazil (Diptera, Tachinidae). Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia 25: 99–103. Sabrosky, C.W. 1973. A revised key to the species of Cordyligaster Macquart (Diptera: Tachinidae). Studia Entomologica 16: 217–222. Guimarães, J.H. 1982. A study of the South American Sophiini, with the description of new genera and species from Brazil (Diptera, Tachinidae). Revista Brasileira de Entomologia 26: 163–171. Santis, M.D. de. 2018. A new genus and species of Sophiini Townsend, 1936 (Diptera: Tachinidae) from Brazil, with an updated key to the genera of the tribe. Zootaxa 4500: 433–442. |
