Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Stratiomyidae, which Stratiomys? => Stratyomis chamaeleon

Hello forum,

Stratiomys from 10.07.2013 in Germany, South Bavaria, East-Allgäu, close to Neuschwanstein castle, ca. 850 m NN, (on wild carot – Daucus carota subsp. carota?) on a strip between a road and a meadow. Nearby forest. Length about 15 mm.

I tend to Stratyomis chamaeleon due to abdominal pattern. But I am not quite sure about it. Stratyomis potamida seems to be much more common and is S. chamaelon registered for Germany?

Looking forward to expert opinion.

Thanks in advance.

Dirk
