Looks like it has a subscutellum, in the second photo ... which would suggest Tachinidae

Chris, you are looking at the scutellum. It is a Phyto or possibly an aberrant Stevenia. The second pic shows the Rhinophorid-calyptra nicely Theo |

Ahh, wow - it has a rather nicely developed subscutellum - more than I am used to from the rhinos over here But I don't get to see many rhinophorids in the UK at all - except R.lepida.

I found this old thread, and show 1 more photo, maybe it helps. I also have the specimens, so can make more photos later: Regards, Walter pwalter attached the following image:  [109.38Kb] Edited by pwalter on 24-03-2010 13:13 Walter Pfliegler - Amateur Nature Photographer from Hungary (and molecular biologist) |
