Hello,

This puparium was found still attached to the remains of a caterpillar inside its silky cocoon weaved between leaves of Dimorphotheca sp:

7 mm; ii.2017; La Ciotat (France 13)

The "posterior spiracular process" (is it right?):

Unfortunatly the puparium was already open and empty so I didn't see the imago.
Is Cyclorrhapha right?
Is an identification of its family possible?
