8 May 2007, New Brunswick, Canada. Length: 7.5mm Can this be ID'sd to genus? Are male genitalia (from this fly) of any help for identifying Tachinids? Tony T attached the following image:  [176.54Kb] |

Hi Tony, Wonderful photos, as usual!  In general male genitalia can be very useful in getting identifications but often they are not enough to point at a genus or they just tell you what it can't be. In this case I'd say it is one for Jim O'Hara because I don't know anyone better than him on nearctic tachinids. Cheers, Chris R. |
