Hello,

two years ago I had my first encounter with the genus Cylindromyia here (northwest Germany), two individuals in about 2 weeks. They were identified by Theo Zeegers as Cylindromyia brassicaria.

Yesterday I found the genus again on camomile flowers next to a path between acres. Length about 10 mm.
It was conspicuous, that one individual had a continuous stripe on its abdomen, the other not. Different species, a gender difference or simple variation?

Here also a little video of one of the flies cleaning its legs:

Hallo Jürgen, the other one - with continuous stripe - has no discals: C. Pusilla?
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

Both have basal scutellar bristles so both are males in the brassicaria group. Much too vig for pusilla.

the second one may have been a little bit smaller, but not strikingly.

Still, the wing venation and the arista contradicts pusilla.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
