Hi, Yesterday I came across a very nice Tachinid female that is puzzling me. With the interactive key (http://www.tachin...chweb.aspx) I arrived at Linnaemya, but the key in Tschorsnig & Herting (1994) excludes all species except L. frater, and I do not know if this species is already recorded for Germany. The only pictures I found are in the paper by Sahebari et al. (2018, https://www.resea...stern_Iran), but the print quality is poor. Well, the wing venation would fit L. frater, and there seem to be black setae behind the postocular setae, too, but I might as well gone wrong in the genus key, so help is appreciated! The location is Baden-Wuerttemberg, 20 km west of Stuttgart, on the edge of a small wood. Thanks for any comments, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [290.82Kb] Edited by Sundew on 29-05-2022 01:48 |

Sorry, i missed this one, and it is pretty interesting. Yes i agree, this should be the female of Linnaemyia frater, ... or lithosiophaga, I dont know how to tell them apart. Red femora are pretty unusual in Linnaemyia (yes, vulpina of course ...) Probably another southerner heading north ? In any case, great find ! Theo |
