Dear all,

I found this specimen in a collection from Hungary. It is surely a Clytiomya, however, I'm not sure about its further identification. C. sola can be excluded, because it has yellow/white setae on katepisternum. The key by Cerretti leads to C. sola/C. mesnili. Based on face and vertex width it is most likely C. mesnili male. However, the information I found on internet is very scarce, and I'm not sure about this ID. I couldn't find any available full text pdf of the original description: Kugler, J. 1968. Tachinidae of Israel. III. Description of six new species. Israel Journal of Entomology 3: 59-68

Could you please help me about this ID? Or could anybody send me the full text of this article?

Best Regards, Nimród Varga

The Israel Journal of Entomology archives are at http://ij-entomol...e/19661970 (1966-1970) and http://ij-entomol...e/19711975 (1971-1975), with author’s last name only given so search for “Kugler”.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I have already searched in the same website and archives, and with a few other articles, Kugler 1968 is not uploaded. Do you may have any other sources?
