Hi * locality - Herdsman lake - Perth - Australia * date - 2007.11.16 * size - small fly * habitat - near lake * substrate - unknown I'm pretty sure that this is a beautiful Phasia sp. This photo was taken with a MPE-65 by a friend of mine Farhan Bokhari. jorgemotalmeida attached the following image:  [192.59Kb] |

It certainly looks like a Phasia but I'm not sure when the australasian phasiines are like. |

Ah yes, but which one is it? I have never needed to identify an australian tachinid so I have never investigated if there are any keys |

A good key and recent revision of Phasia is found in: Xuekui Sun & Stephen Marshall, 2003. Systematics op Phasia Latreille (Diptera: Tachinidae). Zootaxa 276. It has drawings of head and genitalia of each species world wide. But nevertheless you'll need images of lateral view of head and genitalia. There are to many species in this region to check all the descriptions. Maybe you can contact a of the authors. You'll find there recent e-mail adress in the latest edition of Tachinid Times.
