Does somebody of you know Sapromyza bisigillata? I have a femaie Sapromyza. Using they keys I arrive at bisigillata, yet the descriptions are so minimal. At least 1 pair of spots I can see on the 6th segment. Very remarkable are 6 very, very long bristles of the 5 abd. segment. Furthermore the tasters are black, the antenna rather darkyellow and rather long plumose! I collected the fly in june 2001 in Labin, Croatia. thanks in advance Edited by rvanderweele on 26-09-2010 22:15 ruud van der weele rvanderweele@gmail.com |

I was again too early. The specimens (I have two females) were in the box with Minettia's and not for nothing. They belong to M. muricata (Becker). Looking at the abdomen you think at once about Sapromyza, very remarkable, but the antenna is so "Minettia-like" and not to mention the i.a. bristle. Any way, new species for my collection! ruud van der weele rvanderweele@gmail.com |
