My choice would have been H. depuncta... ( because of the bluish shine of the thorax) I thought that impuncta is more yellow....on the thorax. But I let me gladly convince otherwise....  Greatings Joke Edited by javanerkelens on 09-10-2008 22:42 |

I agree that the scutum's somewhat dark for Helina impuncta, that's why I said "I think...". On the other hand, it is not Helina depuncta which has only 3 postsutural dc.

I'd add that flies like H. impuncta appear yellow due to dense yellowish pollinosity, but the ground colour is black. This one must be a bit worn.
