Shrewsbury, UK - on gravestone in a churchyard - 03/12/21 Of the Anthomyiids in gallery, yellow belly (and other features) seem quite a unique match for Paradelia intersecta : https://diptera.i...to_id=7211 I also believe it fits description from this thread about leg bristles, as well as images of the "typical shape of the epandrium / genitals" (and yellow belly) : https://diptera.i...pid=163275 It also seems to fit other aspects - bristle patterns, morphology ... ...and dusting at front of thorax visible on diptera.info gallery / NBN image : https://species.n...100004436# Further images from my observation are visible here: https://www.inatu.../102431075 ---------------------------------------------------------------- sbushes attached the following image:  [178.36Kb] Edited by sbushes on 12-12-2021 13:17 |

Looking at key in Anthomyiidae Handout Vol 1 by Ackland/Brighton/Bentley from Dipterists Forum : If Paradelia, then : -Legs not yellow rules out P.lunatifrons. -Katepisternum almost entirely grey dusted rules out P.brunneonigra. I do not think you can rule out P.hedgreni through the key (difficult to see if calypters are orange or grey-brown) but there is only one known record from Scotland of this species. P.intersecta is well distributed across UK. |
