Hi, this 6-7 mm long specimen was found by a friend of mine, Henrik Gyurkovics in S-Hungary. Can anyone help with an ID?

Looks like Aphria longirostris to me

I totally agree with Aphria, but would not be able to suggest a species. longirostris and longilingua are very similar and the letter much more common. Theo |

That's interesting, I have never managed to find a longilingua - none that I have seen have hairs on r4+5 beyond rm ... or is that a weak feature?

Interesting - which features do you rely on? I'd love to make some of mine into longilingua

Just following Tschorsnig & Herting, hairs on r4+5 reaching far beyond rm in all my specimens

Well, that's reassuring ... I checked all of mine many times and their r4+5 hairs stop well short of rm. I wonder why I didn't get *any* longilingua then? ... boooo LOL

Well, none of mine came from the UK - they are all European - Aphria is one of the many rare tachinids here Mine came from Portugal & southern France.

Then it because they came from the South- not the Central Europe
