female - 6.5mm - Berlin - May 2018
My Wife and I believe that this is
Pegomya testacea (syn.
Pegomya silacea) but we want to know if
Pegomya prisca is a possibility. If
P. prisca is possible, we can provide photos of the ovipositor.
We would like to know if microscopic examination is sufficient for an id here because we can save two legs and have a dna test conducted instead.
I understand that Michelsen has a paper regarding
P. prisca. Is it possible to get a copy of this document?

Google search has helped me locate a photo of both ovipositors:

Thus, i now know that dissection can help identify the species.
Thank you.
