 UK, Suffolk, coastal estuary, on Heracleum. 15th July 2011.
Obviously a female Phania, but how bristly must the hind tibia be to consider the rarer thoracica rather than funesta?

 I would call that funesta ... I have never seen thoracica but it is supposed to have a lot more dorsal pre-spical setae Smile

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

Pipunculidae from Mongolia! I am looking for specialist who is committed to ID these. There will be a lot of material coming from my expeditions.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
