It is somewhat difficult to see whether the palps are yellow from this rear view (to confirm at least the genus). Unless you are already sure it is this genus ?

Is a "Sarcophaga" with yellow palps always Eurychaeta palpalis?

That depends on your definition of "Sarcophaga". (Socrates could have made this point). If you mean - which you probably do - Sarcophaga s.l., so all Sarcophagini except for Blaesoxipha s.l., the answer is yes !! There are several Blaesoxipha and Agriini with yellow palpi, however, all of these have a very different abdominal pattern (at least, to my eyes). So, indeed, if a 'Sarcophaga' has bright yellow palpus, your first thought should be Eurychaeta. That is how to find them ! (In the field, in my limited experience, Eurychaeta gives an impression in between Sarcophaga and Brachycoma, hence, you already are in doubt. The yellow palpus then is a big clue). THeo |
