Hi, is this again one of those flies that will end to a unit with "Siphona sp." label ? Jari JariF attached the following image:  [111.5Kb] Edited by JariF on 17-07-2008 20:29 |

No, (there's no long jointed proboscis and Siphona spp. are not black) but it could end up in a box labelled "Actia sp."  Looks like there are hairs on r1, r4+5 (beyond r-m) and cu, which is fairly unusual in tachinids. Would be nice to know how much of r1 has hairs  |

Chris is right, it is Actia. Shape of third antennal segment suggests male A. pilipennis Theo |
