 Bull's eye ! (or should I say.... 180 !)

Nyctia halterata, the 'face-Rhinophorid'. Even Seguy included it in Rhinophoridae.
However, the squama are larger and...
there is a distinct appendix to the bend in vein M. Never so in Rhinophoridae !

 Well, I know this 'friend' well ... it used to fool me a lot when I started with tachinids. Of course, since I started to catch sarcophagids I haven't seen any!! Wink
