Caught this fly today (14-10-2011) in the Netherlands. Using the keys, i arrive at Appendicia truncata. Which seems a reasonable fit. However, there are two things that do not fit: 1. The costal spine is to short 2. The wrong time of the year (flies from may to June in 1 generation) What is wrong? Thanks in advance Auratus attached the following image:  [132.14Kb] Edited by Auratus on 18-10-2011 20:25 Greetings, Jan |

Strongly protruding mouth-edge, densely hairy eyes and yellow basicosta on a tachinid that looks like this should always indicate Linnaemya, in Europe PS: mine don't have a hairy parafacial.

Chris, thanks for your reaction. Rerunning the key brings me to Linnaemya indeed . I went wrong in judging the position of the bristles on the humeral callus.Finally it seems to be Linnaemya picta. Greetings, Jan |
