Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Muscidae from Argentina --> cf. Muscina

Hello. This muscid is from Buenos Aires, Argentina - at first it looks like Musca domestica, but wing venation seems wrong for that species. Synthesiomyia nudiseta looks like a better match, but the distance between the eyes is not enough. Someone can help me define?

Thanks in advance,

Lucas

In the temperate Northern Hemisphere the bent tip of vein M combined with red tip of scutellum usually means Muscina.

You are probably right, John. I had totally forgotten about that genus. Thank you.
