Hello, I photographed this fly near Casteddu Etzu (OR), Sardinia, Italy, on June 8th 2022. I'm not sure if it is a Tachinidae or Rhinophoridae. Could you please help me to identify its genus or species from these photos? Thank you in advance, Emanuele ESant attached the following image:  [295.07Kb] Edited by ESant on 07-08-2022 13:59 |

Hi Emanuele, I think it's Eriothrix sp., Tachinidae, but not rufomaculata, which is very common here, but possibly a female of the South European species like E. apennina (occiput only black setae, tergites at least basally dusted).
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

The pattern on thoracic dorsum is very different from Eriothrix in and in any case, there is a petiole in the wing venation so it would have been rufomaculata. Also, the first two antennal segments are orange, not black. But, as said, I don’t think it is Eriothrix. I am inclining towards a Zeuxia, yes, some of these have red sidemarkings on tergites. Need to check the collection. Theo |

Also, the legs are very long, suggesting either Dexiini or Minthoini. Th. |

Oops, I've just recognized, that my Mintho rufiventris have the petiole, too. Thanks, Theo! Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

It is Hyperaea sanguinea, already known from Sardinia. Theo |
