Dear all, I collected this female at the entrance of the Verdon canyon. It gives me little difficulty. Following keys (central european key to genus, Ceretti to species) I find T praeceps, as sintergite 1+2 has white pilosity. But abdominal pattern doesn't look like picture I find on internet for this species. So, is it an not represented pattern or did I go wrong on something? Abdominal pattern look more like Nowickia's, but tibiae are definitly red.  clovis : France : Moustiers-Sainte-Marie : 04360 : 20/05/2021 Altitude : 489 m - Taille : 11mm Réf. : 298159  clovis : France : Moustiers-Sainte-Marie : 04360 : 20/05/2021 Altitude : 489 m - Taille : 11mm Réf. : 298160  clovis : France : Moustiers-Sainte-Marie : 04360 : 20/05/2021 Altitude : 489 m - Taille : 11mm Réf. : 298164 Edited by clovis on 21-02-2022 22:45 |

Nope, wings are not really brownish, only nervation on distal half of the wing (basal part is yellowish) |

It is definitely Tachina, I am just not sure if it is praeceps. Theo |

More pics won’t help. The oics are fine, the specimen is aberrant  If first sternite really has white hairs, it should be praeceps. But no female praeceps in my collection come close to this one. Theo |

I have no doubts on color of first sternite: 100% white acepte 2 small apical setules. I'll stay on this species with little doubts, and hope to find normal specimens! Many thanks for you helpfull opinion!!!!  |
