Doesn’t look like a Tachinidae.
Current impression is a male of Phyto (Rhinophoridae) with narrow vertex, like Ph. similis or cingulata. That would be a spectacular find.
* Check the shape of lower calypter
* Check the “operculum” of the posterior spiracle = breathing opening ( just below base of wing). Do you have one large lid (check on any Tachinidae, or Calliphora) or just a bunch of hairs ( = Rhinophoridae).

Thanks! I think it has the lid thing, but you can see for yourself. .. Have tried to photograph lower calypter at different angles.

Yes ! First picture definitely show hairs on the edge on spiracle, but no obvious operculum. Strongly suggesting Rhinophoridae. Did you check the postscutellum ?

yes, typically Rhinophorid postscutellum I would say.... so is it Phyto?

Yeap, just slightly swollen, Definitely Rhinophoridae, hence definitely Phyto. Great find !!

So, it is most definitely a male Phyto cingulata !
Very rare species, or at least little seen. It is known from several localities in Sweden, including the type by Zetterstedt. I have no idea if it has been recorded previously from Norway.

Please submit to the gallery !

Thanks a lot! Smile
Can not see that there are any finds of this, but the species name is included in the Norwegian reporting system - so maybe it is in an old collection ...

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
