Hello everybody !!!

Every day I can picture some Tachinidae that looks like Paratryphera sp ...

This specimen was pictured in my garden on 2024-04-20 and could be identified I think as Paratryphera barbatula (Rondani, 1859) , female


I could measure it on picture : 8,5mm

Palpus are black.

Section of m between m-cu and the deflection as long as the distance of the defelction to the wing edge is = 1,77

Fore tibia with 2 posterior bristles

Lateral bristles missing on hair-like Tschornig Fig 112 seen differences between P. barbatula et P. bisetosa in Tschornig page 38

I hope the ID is good ...

Paratryphera is very rare in Belgium, so never your starting hypothesis

This is a male Meigenia
