Maybe Theo will visit.

I am just getting started with Sarcophagidae. My Wife bought a copy of The Sarcophagidae of Fennoscandia and Denmark for me as a birthday gift. However, Protomiltogramma keys are not in the book because it is not present in Fennoscandia and Denmark.

I found a pdf entitled Catalogue of the Sarcophagidae of the World, by Pape. The following info is listed:

"Genus Protomiltogramma
- Vibrissa well developed and longer than distance between vibrissal sockets.
- Lower calypter large and domeshaped.
- Male with setae latero-ventrally on abdominal sternite 5 curved backwards and upwards in the male."

I think that the calypter is large and dome-shaped which supports Protomiltogramma. I see setae on sternite five. I do not know how to interpret the vibrissae yet without a specimen.

overall, i think that this is Protomiltogramma and i believe that only Protomiltogramma fasciata is present in our region.
