Tribe Tachinini.
Are the eyes haired?
Jurinella has hairy eyes.
Curran reviewed this group:
Curran, C.H. 1947. New and little known American Tachinidae. Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 89: 45–122.

He noted that some species of
Amicrotrichoma and
Oharamyia (as
Lindigia) could easily be confused with
Jurinella.

Thanks. Eyes looks like hairless in the photos. I will check these other genera.
Edit; Google don't give me any result for
Amicrotrichoma. It's correctly spelled?
The very little results by
Oharamyia could match.

I spelled the genus name wrong.
Amicrotrichomma. The name comes in part from Greek ὄμμα.

There are several tropical genera with names derived from
Jurinia and several more with type species originally described in
Jurinia.

Thanks. I don't find any image of
Amicrotrichomma and the few results by
Jurinia looks like different.
Jurinella and
Oharamyia looks like better candidates.
