Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Bellardia pandia? -> Onesia austriaca

Hello Carnifex,

The cerci/surstyli do not match any Bellardia.

so i suspected Onesia because of the golden parafacialia and the wing vein. I also think that the hairs on the lower calypter look more like Onesia. I see a strong v bristle on t2 and the anterior spiracle is dark brown.

So Onesia austriaca male is your best bet because of the large mouse-ear surstyli (similar to Melinda viridicyanaea in lateral view). A good lateral view of the aedeagus can confirm it without doubt.

Best wishes,
John
