This odd little tachinid(?) was found during a study of the fauna of rooftop gardens in Finland. Sorry for the poor pics and poor condition of the fly: it was caught in a pan trap with a salt solution, not the best medium for flies. Additional information: Length approx. 3.5 mm This is a male (one female was caught too) Postgenal hairs: all black as far as I can tell Setae at base of R4+5: 2 (both upper & lower surface) Prosternal setae: present (small) Thorax uniform brown-grey, 3 postsutural dc, prealar seta weaker than posterior notopleural Meral bristles: prsent (at least 6 strong ones in a vertical row) Subscutellum small but present Abdomen: same, with a narrow central line ad bristles on tibia 2: one small At first sight this did actually look like a muscid of the genus Limnophora, until I noticed the wing venation and the meral bristles. Any ideas? Kahis attached the following image:  [148.87Kb] Kahis |
