Makes me think of Eliozeta of the Tachinidae.

Eliozeta sp. (if not I would be very surprised) Sundew, there are tachinids that can be smaller than Siphona, like some Phasia spp.  |

Tiny predators for tiny hosts... Who knows the German Eliozeta species? I have more pics, if needed, and they allow for much more magnification. Sundew (still hoping for a name) Edited by Sundew on 06-07-2008 14:05 |

It should be either E. pellucens or E. helluo, shouldn't it? How can I discriminate between these species? No chance? Chris? |

Theo is the expert on these - I have only seen one species of Eliozeta and it's not found in the UK  In the Central European key Eliozeta and Clytiomya are very similar and can only be distinguished using the katepisternal bristles but Theo knows the range of colours/dusting exhibited by each genera/species |

Unfortunately, Theo's opinion is still missing... |

Sorry, folks. If it is from berlin: The third antennal segment is too short for E. pellucens. It is a male, it's too dark for male E. helluo. So it must be Clytiomyia continua. Theo |

We all, including the fly, are absolutely satisfied with this name and as grateful to you, Theo. |
