Another Bavarian tachinid (May 2001). It keys to Cyzenis jucunda but I understand this is very rare so I'd appreciate it is anyone can say if this looks right - even if a real "det" is impossible from such bad photos.

Hi Chris, If you run it through the key, should be fine (hairy eyes, no apical scutellars etc), general appearance ooks like juncunda. Infact not that rare here in Finland. Flies early May- June here, so check that still. Best, Jaakko |

Thanks - I just needed to know if it looked OK really because it keys fine and the date fits - it was in Malaise samples dated from the end of April to the end of May.  I have used Google Earth to check the grid reference and it plots to a lovely, big region of Bavarian forest within a few km of the south-western Czech border.
