Here is a bit tricky Sarcophagidae again. Hind coxa bare, mid tibia with more than one ad bristles, vibrissa at lower margin of facial plate, arista plumose, wings hyaline, costal spine developed and palpi black. This would lead to Sarcophila latifrons ?? IF this is a Sarcophagidae... July 6. 2010 Loviisa, Finland. Jari JariF attached the following image:  [142.93Kb] Edited by JariF on 03-01-2011 04:59 |

Hind coxa bare ? Please recheck. It looks like a female Blaesoxipha and the first pic seems to show the characteristic ovipositor. A closeup of the abdominal tip, preferably lateral view, would help as well. Theo |

It is very difficult to identify females of Blaesoxipha without having a good (or very good) look at the ovi-larvipositor. In the first photo it seems that the very tip of the ovi-larvipositor is protruding, but it does not look like the rather long and pointed ovi-larvipositor of B. laticornis. The very similar B. plumicornis has a much shorter and more blunt ovi-larvipositor. Actually, this is one of the few cases in flesh flies where females are more easy to separate than males, and a quick look at the female terminalia should easily solve this. |

Here You have some pictures of the larvipositor. Is it sharp enough ? There is only lateral view in Your book and as I did compare the pictures of plumicornis and laticornis I came to this conclusion. They both would be new for me anyway  Jari JariF attached the following image:  [164.05Kb] |

I am not an expert on Blaesoxipha. But I had a look at Verves (1985) in Lindner and compared B. grylloctona (fig 397, laticornis sensu Pape) and gladiatrix (fig 395, plumicornis sensu Pape and Povolny&Verves). Therefore I would chose Blaesoxipha plumicornis in this case. Liekele |
