Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Leskiini? from caterpillar

I agree, no Siphona, seems to be either Dexiini or Leskiini.
Can't tell whether the arista is plumose or bare, that would help.

On the other hand, nearly all Dexiini have hosts in Coleoptera.
Is this host a Lepidoptera-caterpillar ? Certainly looks like it.

In which case it gets more and more interesting.

Need to see the specimen, since it's from Israel, could be something bizarre to west-European standards.
