I realy getting grazy sometimes with those A.pluvialis / procellaris... Two female like to be A.pluvialis, but with the male i have doubt, but when found on the same place , we should presume it would be also A.pluvialis. I realy have to examine those two species....  For now...Anthomyia pluvialis for the female Anthomyia cf pluvialis for the male Sorry.... Joke |

It isn't easy to name these Anthomyia species from photos. The locality also needs to be taken into account. The 1st photo is probably a female of A. procellaris or bazini (rare) or quinquemaculata, this is a southern locality. The 2nd photo is probably A. pluvialis female. The 3rd is a male of procellaris or even bazini or quinquemaculata. There are other characcters one needs to look at in close up to determine the males including the genitalia and especially sternite 5 in profile. Females are even more difficult, so one shouldn't be too hopeful to be able to put a name to a photo. If you really want a definite det you will have to catch one and put it under the microscpe. |
