Could someone help me identifying these fly? The photo was made near Barcelona, Catalonia (NE Spain), on 12.7.2026. Thanks! Jordi Clavell attached the following image:  [168.08Kb] Edited by Jordi Clavell on 28-07-2026 07:18 |

Sorry, yes - they have, but the male specimens cannot currently be identified to the species level. So male Cistogaster globosa/mesnili would be the correct ID. from: Cerretti (2010): I tachinidi della fauna italiana Edited by eklans on 14-07-2026 08:29 Greetings, Eric |
