Yesterday about 23:00 h, several of these flies were collected on the sheet of a light trap. Any idea what species this might be? I ended up at Phorocera myself but .................... The Netherlands, Tilburg, "De Kaaistoep". Jan Willem attached the following image:  [24.9Kb] Edited by Jan Willem on 24-05-2010 15:21 Jan Willem van Zuijlen |

The genitalia look big enough to be Phorocera, so it is possible ... though the scutellum isn't dark so it wouldn't be obscura

I agree. Very interesting record, but species is trivial: Phorocera obscura. Yes, it is obscura, despite the reddish scutellum, have a look at the excavation in syntergite 1&2. In my collections, these guys (and girls) are under the nickname 'rufoscutellata' Theo |

Thanks Theo, Good to know that I had at least the genus right . And indeed the excavation clearly doesn't reach the apex of syntergite 1+2.All Tachinidae I found that night belonged to this species. Jan Willem van Zuijlen |
