According to the literature the scutellum of E. xanthaspis is "braunrot", here it looks darker, but it might be an illusion. Also the eyes of E. xanthaspis should be "praktisch nackt", but they look quite hairy in the photos. Very curious to know what it is.  |

Maybe it is not Exorista, there are other options. Theo |

@Rui, Yes, that is what Mesnil wrote, but it concerns the male. Agreed, he did not bother to write that the scutellum is dark in female, but it is, I checked. This is the female of Exorista xanthaspis (in Mesnil as 'fallax'  .Theo |
