A colorful Dolichopodidae from La Reunion island, April 15th 2008. Not much hope for an ID, I guess, but yet, here it is for you to ponder !  Cheers Philippe PS don't know the size Philippe moniotte attached the following image:  [38.72Kb] |

Female Chrysosoma leucopogon (Wiedemann, 1824) probably (there are no other species of the genus on Reunion). I have Doli collection from the island with many undescribed species. If you collected something, please send me material. Igor Grichanov |

Thanks a lot Igor Unfortunately, I am no dipterologist, just a photographer who tries to be a little less ignorant when he dies! I do not collect, but next time, I'll try to get some specimen; Cheers Philippe |

Now I consider it Chrysosoma snelli Curran, 1927: Ann.Mag.nat.Hist. (9)19: 5 ** Type locality: Zanzibar: Pemba I. // syn. of Chrysosoma leucopogon (Wiedemann, 1824) (Dyte, 1975: Catal.Dipt.orient. Reg. 2: 218); but see Grichanov, 1998: Bull.Inst.r.Sci.nat.Belg., Entomologie, 68: 104. Afrotropical: Tanzania, Kenya, Madagascar, Reunion, Mauritius, Aldabra, Rodriguez, Seychelles; Oriental: India (Goa), Chagos Archipelago, Maldives (Grichanov, 2011: Priamus Supplement 24: 24) * leucopogon Wiedemann, 1824 is excluded from Afrotropics: Grichanov, I.Ya., 2011.
