Hello, what is the right family of this fly? Is further ID possible? The last part of the abdomen looks characteristic. Sorry, for the bad picture. Thank you, Marion Photo: Greece, Corfu, 31th August 2011 Marion Friedrich attached the following image:  [130.51Kb] Edited by Marion Friedrich on 31-10-2014 16:12 |

Females of some Phasiinae, e.g. Leucostoma, have those claspers on the tip of the abdomen. |

Thank you very much for ID, John. I changed the title. This fly is my first tachinid with such abdomen tip. Can I further restrict, e. g. to Leucostomatini or to a genus? Best wishes, Marion |

The only long, slim Leucostoma I know of is L. aterrimum, which is black. Very black, if you believe the species name. I could not find a key to Tachinidae of your region. |

Right. All Leucostoma are black. This is another Leucostomini: Brullaea ocypteroidea. Theo |

Stephane pointed correctly out that this is a female Clairvillia. THeo |

Thanks for this message, Theo. I found the thread where it was identified as Clairvillia biguttata. The fly is in the Diptera Gallery and should be renamed. Marion |
