Hello, Here is a picture of what I think is a female Tachinidae fly. Am I wrong? If not, which species??? Pictures took at Sherbrooke, Quebec, near Vermont USA last July. Thank you again for your appreciated help Michel Quebec, Canada   |

Phasinae but not Phasia sp. - the body segments look fused, which would hint at something more related to Gymnosoma or Cistogaster ... but I think it is neither  If you have a specimen I can run it though the keys |

Phasiinae yes, Phasia no. In our universe this would be a female Cistogaster. Need to check if this genus is also present in your universe. Theo |

I don't see Cistogaster in the Nearctic key but there is Gymnosoma and other genera like Gymnoclytia (which would be my uneducated guess). |

Yes, it is Gymnoclytia, in Coquillett 1897 as.... Cistogaster. Theo |

Hello all, Thank you very much for your great help!!! After looking at different answers from different forums and searching through images, I come to the conclusion that it is a Tachinid of the Genus Gymnosoma. So it is Gymnosoma sp. There are only 6 species of Gymnoclytia in Neartic and none of the images I saw correspond to mine. Thanks again! Michel |
