A dorsal shot showing the back of the fly and the wing venation would be useful Smile

It is not Parasetigena silvestris, tergite 3 this one two marginal bristles, Parasetigena silvestris 2 discal bristles and 4 marginal bristles.
On the scutellum this one 2 lateral bristles, Parasetigena silvestris 3 lateral bristles.

Hi Christophe,


The number of marginals is variable and discal setae are lacking, as far as I know, have a look for instance at Mesnil in Lindner (he calls it Phorocera agilis).


The male genitalia have very characteristic 'fluffy' hairs.

I think a Exorista with eyes hairy.
With the disposal of ocellar setae, I think Exorista segregate.
What do you think?

I think I'd have to see and key the specimen - it's not distinctive enough to ID confidently from photos Smile

It certainly doesn't have the head shape of a normal Exorista, so I doubt that it is one of those.
