Now i have a problem..!!!
When i was buzy to make photos of the head of E.ciliata and brevicornis males.... i saw , a very broad frontal vitta at E.brevicornis...?!
So i get doubt !
According to Hennig , both species should have the eyes touching....
But......i also see clearly 4 dorco centrals. (and only E.brevicornis / ciliata has !!)
:o

Also the brush of hairs on the hindfemur gives doubt and the leg chaetotaxy fits more to D.radicum-group
So i think.... i have a Delia radicum with 4 dc :D:D:D

Now i can't give you the promised photos.
I only have a female.

I just go get grazy tonight and put my eyes again into the microscoop, with this strange problem.
