Hi, this was in my malaise yesterday with Heleomyzidae specimens. Is there enough details visible to tell if my ID could be correct ? If so, I must refresh the specimen and mount the wings and legs better. September 23. 2008 Helsinki, Finland. Jari JariF attached the following image:  [95.65Kb] Edited by JariF on 25-09-2008 14:26 |

Hi Jari, Although I have never seen Paraclusia tigrina I would say your identification is correct. Beautiful species! Edited by Jan Willem on 25-09-2008 08:12 Jan Willem van Zuijlen |

Paraclusia tigrina. It's not common in Finland, but neither a great rarity. This species is mostly found around dead and dying deciduous trees such as birch and alder, especially in dense, herb-rich forests with a high water table (coastal forests, riversides etc.). I have also taken it in the garden of my parent summer place, where it probably breeds in the dying apple trees. Kahis |

I regularly meet these on rotting or partially burned trunks of deciduous trees (mostly Tilia cordata), and a specific fungus, Fenugreek Stalkball (Phleogena faginea), is usually present, too. Picture taken on September 3, 2008.

Thank You all  This has been very good place for my trap. Sea is very near and the whole cape is full with old and dead wood. This is the malaise where I got paganettii, amoena etc. There are still hundreds and hundres unidentified flies from there and I'm sure some nice supprises are still to come  Jari JariF attached the following image:  [129.38Kb] |
