Hello! Please don't tell me this is good ole' Phaonia tuguriorum again...  When I found it at our house today (northwest Germany), I thought it was something completely different (rather big, around 10 mm, spotted, some Helina species?). But when looking at the photos...1100x1100 picture, 110 KB: http://www.foto-u...0mm_M3.jpg Juergen Peters attached the following image:  [52.12Kb] Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Juergen, I don't want to lie to you, and sorry, but it is Phaonia tuguriorum to me. A very similar fly, Phaonia scutellata has closer eyes (no narrow frontal vitta between fronto-orbital plates) and entirely black antennae.

Hello, Stephane! Stephane Lebrun wrote: Juergen, I don't want to lie to you, and sorry, but it is Phaonia tuguriorum to me. A very similar fly, Phaonia scutellata has closer eyes (no narrow frontal vitta between fronto-orbital plates) and entirely black antennae. Thanks a lot! There will come a time, when P. tuguriorum will be the by far most numerous of only a few Phaonia species here... (I often find it in late autumn or even winter). In the moment there are still so many flies around here, I have hundreds of photos from the last weeks lying on my HD. Many of them still unidentified or to be confirmed. So be warned...
