Hello, is this Stratiomys chamaeleon? I found it in July in a mountain in Austria. Thanks, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [57.01Kb] Edited by Michael Becker on 04-02-2009 06:03 |

Hello Lukas, thank you for your answer. It seems Stratiomys concinna is not a very frequent species. Du you think the determination is certain enough for the gallery? And how at all do I distinguish the stratiomys species. In the moment I can't see difference between some of the species. Thanks, Michael |

Hello Lukas, thank you for your offer, but I don't need the key. I just wanted to know, which characteristics I have to look for, when I meet a Stratiomys species next time. I looked other pictures from the same fly, and the last segments of the antenna are in all pictures very clearly redish-black or dark brown. So S. concinna seems rather certain. Thanks, Michael |
