Graeme, you are sure it is not a Muscid ? Did you check the presence of hypopleural / meral bristles ? Theo |

Thanks Stephane. No I didn't look for those bristles. I thought plumose antennae and M1 bent forward was enough? I'll have a look. |

Many Muscini have M bent forward. Usually this is more gradual than Oestroidea (cf. Eudasyphora) but wings of Musca and Neomyia are easily confused with Oestroidea and the latter is shiny green like Lucilia. Most of the time these two genera of Muscidae have 2+4 dorsocentrals and 0-1+1 acrostichals. Neither condition is common in similar Oestroidea. Neomyia cornicina has 2+3 dc, but the condition of the acrostichals works in North America where no Calliphoridae have only one pair of postsutural acrostichals. Elsewhere in the world a few do. |
