It is a male with a rather broad vertex and no proclinate orbitals. SO I'll pass (or send a lateral pic of the genitalia ! ) |

Theo excuse, but i did not understand well. In practice you have any doubts on the species, right? Unfortunately this is the only picture in my possession. Thanks anyway |

This is a Tachina but Theo is just saying that it is not possible to be sure about an identification without looking at the genitalia

To reorder 's store, i found this picture that looks very similar to exemplary precedent. Was done in the same locality July 28, 2009 There are differences on the head and eyes. Are only due to gender? ff57 attached the following image:  [173.71Kb] Edited by ff57 on 12-03-2010 23:20 |

No - this one is possible to identify - it is Nemoraea pellucida (male) They do look superficially similar but Nemoraea are just subtly different in many areas (hairy eyes, smaller sized head, wide & flattened abdomen, bristles different arrangement) PS: females of this species are mainly black.
