Found near Bácsborista, about 35 km. W of Szeged, S. Hungary, on 05. 08. 2011. I think it is a female of Physocephala chrysorrhoea. Can someone confirm or correct this ID? Kind regards, Henrik piros attached the following image:  [165.74Kb] |

Is this an impossible case? |

I've checked everything I could, and now I am quite confident that this fly is indeed P. chrysorrhoea, so I will file it under that name, unless someone disagree... |

Dear Members, I have also a Physocephala from Turkey near to chryorrhoea, but different species. What is your opinion on this subject? |

As you know, I am no expert of anything, but this fly looks closer to P. lacera (male) to me, especially if it were fairly small. In any case, this one doesn't seem to have a silverish stripe on the pleura between wing base and midle leg, unlike P. chrysorrhoea, which does. Best wishes, Henrik Edited by piros on 19-02-2013 19:22 |

I support your approach, OK not 100% but a very small conopid, resembling other identified P. lacera in various diptera sites, incl. Diptera.info. Thanks Henrik! |

Cesa, yours should be a male Physocephala vittata...

The specimen from Turkey is surly vitiate, the specimen from Hungary is very strange. It is far from typical chrysorrhoe that should occur in Hungary but I have no idea what else it could be. Has the specimen been collected? |

No, unfortunately, it has not been collected  However, I've seen a number of very similar flies at the same place, so I might be able to collect the sp. in the future, if it is interesting in any way...Greetings, Henrik |

BTW, would you please explain to me what is unusual about it? (So that I would be able to recognize it, if see one again) |
