Hello to everybody! I really do not know the family of this 7mm long fly. Picture were taken today, the fly was sitting on an orchid's stem in a mixed oak forest.    I will be glad if anyone could help me. Thank you! Edited by eurythyrea on 30-05-2011 22:09 |

Psilidae. I think it is Chyliza vittata (with non stripped thorax).

Would be interesting to see if this unstriped version is actually the same species as the striped version, because so dfar the only unstriped versions I have seen were from Central Europe. Does anyone else have info on striped and unstriped Chyliza vittata?

Thank you Stephane, I forgot to turn on the "notify me in email when a reply..." and today went to the NatHistMus of Budapest. With luck I met L. Papp and showed him the pictures. He told me the same species, Chyliza vittata, then we saw an old literature (Árpád Soós I think), there he wrote "larva develops in stems of Orchis spp." So it was not an accident that I found it on a newly sprout Epipactis! Paul, L. Papp told me if he was a Psilidist, would be study deeper this genus, because it could be uncleared. |
