If I understand Carles Tolrá (2009; http://www.hetero...05-110.pdf) correctly, the colour pattern is not sufficient to distinguishe between canariensis and speciosa. The former is only recorded from the Canary Ilsnads and Turkey and, as yet, not from the Iberian Peninsula.



Hi Paul.

As you know, I'm just a fan of Diptera, who have come through photography. So always ask and am very grateful data, information and knowledge provided by experts you.

If I thought that the fly of my photographs could be Milichia canariensis, it is only because about two years ago in the same place in Spain, -Charca Suarez in Motril, photograph these other two copies, male and female, who as such were confirmed by Irina Brake specialist.

After this meeting, 25/04/2015 day in the same place, went to photograph a female with the same. And the day 26/04/2005 I returned to photograph another male.
These last pictures I have not yet had a chance to process them and upload them, but as soon as it can go up to the same post.

When I can, I will process and will upload the rest of the pictures. And as soon as I get communicate with the specialist milichia, I think we will leave doubts.

Kind regards from southern Spain.
