Very interesting.

Looks like Chaetoria stylata.

Need to check my collection.

Bedankt Theo!! |t

Very, very interesting when you find it interesting. :) I hope your collection confirms your suspicion.

So it's normal that I didn't find anything like it.

Thanks, again! |t

Groetjes,
André

What tribe is that in?

Have a look at the wing venation.

Theo

The wing reminded me of Microchaetina (Dexiini), and the wing and erect bristles on scutellum reminded me of Voriini in the broader Canadian sense.

Thanks, John & Theo!!!!!

"Clash of the Titans". Very interesting indeed. |t

I will look into the venation of the wings, but my knowledge of Diptera is next to 0. :|

Ciao!

Hi John

We don't have Microchaetina over here.

It agrees with Chaetoria stylata in my collection;
* long third antennal segment
* facial ridge with bristles
* erect apical scutellars - as you well spotted
* wing venation: stalk, appendix to bend
* large nimbers of setulae on vein R4+5, up to crossvein r-m
*lack of discal bristles on tergites
* colouration of thorax and tergites.

So, to me, it is a match.
It seems this might be the first record for Spain !

Need to work on that.

Theo,

Yes, I can see all the characteristics you mention. B)

So, after all it must be quita common this Chaetoria stylata and I am sure that there must be other photos of this species in Biodiversidad virtual but still without ID. I will ask Piluca Álvarez. |t

Thanks!!
André

Just to be 1000 % sure (no typo), I asked Peter Tschorsnig and he agrees.
And yes,IT IS THE FIRST FOR THE IBERIAN PENINSULA !!

Well done, Piluca and myself like to borrow this one for a forthcoming publication .

We normally work with 110%. :D

So now there is no shred of doubt about its ID. Perfect job, Theo! |t (and peter's, of course)

The only downside is the (lack of )quality of my photos. :|
And no problem "borrowing" for your and Piluca's publication.

Ciao!
André
