Hi John,

Thank you for your reply. I looked yesterday again at the specimen and compared it with other Pollenia's. I had misinterpreted the colour of the hairs postventrally of the hind femur, they are black. I now think it is just a Pollenia rudis, the other characters seem to fall within the range of that species.

I will look again at the specimen somewhere next days to answer your questions about the number of pv on t1 and marginal scutellar bristles.

Best wishes,
Paul
