A small long-legged guy, dolichopodid-looking, but with pictured wings, appeared yesterday in my garden, in a shady and moist zone. What it could be? Thanks!

JUST WOW! Isidro caught the fly of the month! Tachinidae or Rhinophoridae, most likely the last ones as I see very small calypters!| COLLECT ! |

Hi Jorge! Species please! Thanks! I see that I was very far from the ID, thinking in dolichopodids. Certainly the long legs reminds a bit some calyptrates such as Lispe or Estheria. |

Certainly looks like Tachinidae  Very nice!

Tachinidae - Plesina cf. phalerata. lucky guy to see such rarity! The key only shows unpatterned wings for Plesina. http://science.na...ig2008.pdf Yours must be most likely the P. phalerata. Wait for Theo... Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 29-04-2012 17:15 |

As far as I can tell phalerata is the only (European) Plesina species with marked wings, claripennis and nigroscutellata have clear wings.
