 Hello,

can this Conopidae be identified as Physocephala vittata? I found it on a meadow between a reed area and a lake on June, 24th in Eich-Gimbsheim, Rheinland Pfalz, Germany.

With kind regards,
Kathrin

 As to the Physocephala key (http://home.hccne...phala.html), P. vittata sounds good!

 Great! I also used the key - but for the first time, so I wasn't sure Smile.

With kind regards,
Kathrin

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.

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’?
