I think this is Phyto, Rhinophoridae.

Not Rhinophoridae : M1+2 has an appendix, squamae are adjoining scutellum margin... It is Sarcophagidae to me. Stephane. |

I agree with Stephane, Can't say more, though (There seems to be a row of proclinate orbital setae on the parafrontalia, which would suggest Amobia. It doesn't look like Amobia otherwise....) Theo |

It's a really rhinophorid-like sarcophagid, so I was in doubt between those two families. Thank you Stephane and Theo for the family ID. Good to know that the appendix on M1+2 is not present on Rhinophoridae. |

Well. let me give a very simple rule; Rhinophoridae WITH AN OPEN TOPCELL never have an appendix to vein M. Most Sarcs have. Note the part in capitals: it is not true for some Rhinos with stalked topcell. Theo |
