The recent discussion on petiolate veins
HERE was most fortuitous as I had just caught this fly. It's a tachinid and shows a nice petiole. Possibly
Phasia sp.

Thanks for the ref. I have corresponded with Steve Marshall in the past, he's in Ontario, Canada, and I will e-mail him and ask if he has any reprints of the article.

It's certainly a phasiine but I'm not so confident to call it
Phasia - there
may be other genera with petioles like that in the New World. :)
Tony: If he has some reprints or a PDF of the article I'd be very interested to have a copy :)
