Hi there. I am trying to identify this fly and a friend suggested Nyctia lugubris as a possibility. I will appreciate confirmation or any comments. Thanks a lot in advance On Kleinia neriifolia, Lanzarote, Canary Island. mpergil attached the following image:  [142.64Kb] |

Hi mpergil, a male Nyctia is correct, but I cannot see a petiole at R5. If there's no petiole it's Nyctia haltera - but if there's a petiole it can be both as Nyctia haltera in the Mediterranean population can have it, too. Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

Very helpful comments. I have this photo also, but It is not clear either. Anyway in the Canary Is. the species registered is N lugubris, so probably it will be that. Thank a lot for your help!

The species described by Verves are troublesome from an external,point of view, but obvious when gentalia are studied (in my experience) Theo |
