Photo taken in Reading, UK on 2013-05-12. I think this is a female Anthomyia sp but the black patches are not right for the A. procellaris group. Is it A. plurinotata? tristram attached the following image:  [168.88Kb] Edited by tristram on 21-09-2014 08:17 |

Anthomyia plurinotata seems right. Would be the first record for the UK...!? Johanna javanerkelens attached the following image:  [80.48Kb] Edited by javanerkelens on 12-05-2013 15:01 |

Thank you Johanna. I hadn't noticed it wasn't on the UK checklist. |

I looks like A. plurinotata, and if it is it is a species new to Britain. If you did not catch a specimen, please go to the locality and search for more and collect them, especially a male. If you don't want to do this, please tell us the locality in detail. It is not possible to record it as positively new to Britain based on a photograph. |

At last, long after I had given up all hope, I have finally caught a male! This specimen was taken in the Wilderness, in Whiteknights Park, Reading, UK, on 2014-09-13. tristram attached the following image:  [170.08Kb] Edited by tristram on 14-09-2014 09:22 |

It is new to Britain! It is good news that you have caught a specimen. Perhaps you could write up a note in the Dipterists Digest. If you want any help or info my email address is: mackland@btinternet.com I should be interested to learn about the habitat. |
