I suppose it is a Sarcophaga but then spieces will be difficult? Photos from 9 september 2008 at Nattsjön 62,57N 17,36O Ångermanland, Sweden. Thanks for your help in advance Regards Kurt Holmqvist kurt attached the following image:  [148.53Kb] |

The blue colour of the abdomen suggests that this is Calliphora

Calliphoridae, but I do not think that this is Calliphora. Could be Onesia or Bellardia.

I think the antennae are too long for Bellardia, and the parafacials and genae too narrow for Onesia. Any reason that it's not Calliphora?

Appears to have red beard suggesting C.vomitoria or C.uralensis.Of those it looks more like C.uralensis. My suggestion should give it the kiss-of-death to being Calliphora  .

I think it is Calliphora vicina, with its yellowy brown sclerites at the wing base, yellow anterior spiracle, black and orange bicolour gena and parafaciala and typical Calliphora antennae, grey with orange at junction of segments 2&3. Might have a red beard, but I think, with that yellow anterior spiracle, it is more likely that long pale hair on the lower occiput is picking up reflected colour from somewhere.

Hmm...maybe the beard really is red. Tony T posted a Calliphora vomitoria with a yellow spiracle once, but the wing bases on this one still look too light and the pale border on the lower calypter too broad. I dunno.

HOHo, the calyptra are white, so C. genarum or allied, I'd say. Theo |

Thanks Susan and Theo I have checked if I have any more photos of this individuals but this was the only one. I go for Calliphora sp, if no one can say for sure. Greetings Kurt Holmqvist |

Hi Henry. Ekholm? (Ekhohe) had some great photo's of C.genarum in a post which are now languishing on Page 90. Can I suggest they be put in the Gallery so Plebs like me know there are other members of Calliphoridae with red beards.  Regards Roger Edited by Roger Thomason on 17-12-2008 00:16 |
