Hello, I photographed this fly in in the Point d'Esny Wetlands, Mauritius, on April 23rd 2024. I think it is a Tachinidae, but I'm not totally sure about that. Is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos? Thank you in advance, Emanuele ESant attached the following image:  [289.85Kb] Edited by ESant on 09-07-2024 21:26 |

This must be one of the prettiest Tachinidae ever seen ! Looks like a Phasia (not known from Mauritius) or similar, I guess you could not collect it ? Theo |

For what it is worth: it more or less keys out with Crosskey (1984) to Bogosiella, but it does not agree with the only species known in this genus .... Theo |

I think I am convinced it is not any of the species recorded from Mauritius in the checklist of world Tachinidae. |

Thank you both very much! Unfortunately I only have these pictures, no specimen. |
