Tachinidae - Siphona sp. (note the small size, bent median vein, hairs on vein r4+5, converging subapicals and long hinged proboscis) - but no closer ID is possible because the genus is too difficult to identify from photos ... it's even too difficult to identify from some specimens too

Thank you for your excellent explanation, although I must confess that I will have to study your information. Siphona sp. it is. Edited by Andre Burgers on 06-11-2010 17:17 |
