I've been losing sleep over this one -
I'm really not convinced that this is an Agria. ... Pape clearly states that Agria has black occipital and postgenal hairs, which this clearly doesn't.


Now I feel guilty. You're right, this is not Agria. I was mistaken by calling it Agria. It is Sarcophaginae after all. But I do not know which one without genitalia.

. I suspect Pierre's fly is a male (look at those pulvilli!) Sarcophaga (Bercaea) africa.[/


Maybe. It is not Agria. And it is different from first specimen with beautifull picture of head.
