Today, 16 May 2010, I found this fly. I have been searching and found Otites formosa the most likely. Am I right? Thanks for any information. Place: La Fontouret, Indre, France Tjitske Lubach attached the following image:  [194.2Kb] Edited by Tjitske Lubach on 16-05-2010 21:26 Tjitske Lubach |

I think is O. formosa, but wait for an expert. |

The fly is known under the name Otites jucunda Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830. Your specimen is quite an aberrant one, as it has dark femora and tarsi. The species called Otites formosa Pancer apparently does not occur in France, possibly, except for North, their boundary is apparently the Alb Mts and Rhine valley, however, there is almost no data from Benelux and bordering parts of Germany and France. The names are also provisory, because neither formosa, nor jucunda are valid. Thenks to Elena Kameneva, who kindly shared some results from her forthcoming revision of Otites. Val |

Thank you for your reaction Alexaandru. Many thanks Valery for your extensive information on this species. I am sorry I didn't search this forum to find your answer on an earlier question. Tjitske Lubach |
