Hi, In my photo stock from last summer there are two rhagionids (probably Rhagio) to be identified. I hope it is possible! Thanks, Sundew The first one is from Berlin in July. Sundew attached the following image:  [160.94Kb] Edited by Sundew on 16-01-2008 00:13 |

The top one is a therevid. Better delete the second post and put it in a separate thread.

The Rhagio is a male of Rh. tringarius: see the yellowish stigma. Vitripennis has, despite the name, a dark stigma. Theo |

Last night when I lay in bed nearly asleep a thought crossed my mind: "The first fly might be a therevid instead a rhagionid, its abdomen is too hairy and differently coloured!" However, I was too tired to get up and start the computer again. From your replies I see that I had a correct feeling. The flies already haunt me in my dreams! Many thanks to all, Sundew |

The older we get, Andre, the more we mix up names. Happens to me repeatedly. Theo |
