I found this little Conopidae on Jacobaea vulgaris. Length estimated 6-7 mm. Dusty gray abdomen, legs too. Short cheeks, very long snout, double bent. I tried to find the genus with the key of Marc van Veen, but unfortunately there are details that I can not see on the pictures. Is there someone who can help me or do I have to accept Conopidae? I tried on insecte.org and they said it might be a Zodion spec.? I thought that this genus did not have a double bent snout? http://insecte.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=143375&p=1148820#p1148820 Place: Saint-Gilles, Indre, France Date: 19-06-2015 http://observado..../103537027

Thank you very much Jeremy. You confirm what they said on insecte.org. I can't find out how about the long double bent snout, but I suppose the pictures aren't good enough to say more about it. Tjitske Lubach |

It is quite clear in, say, the second picture: first bend very close to the base, second at about 2/3 of the whole proboscis. Greetiings, Henrik Edited by piros on 07-07-2015 21:07 |
