Hello, this 4mm fly is from last april from the mountains in the interior Sicily. Is this a Usia sp. (Bombylidae)? They all had these remarkable orange blots on the thorax and the abdomen. Is the species therefore recognizable? Thank, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [37.87Kb] Edited by Michael Becker on 06-12-2011 18:46 |

Thank you for your answer David. Nice fly. If I see this correct, this species still isn't in the gallery, although it is, if I can trust the number of hits in the net, not very rare. Here is another photo. Is this on the right now the female? Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [89.51Kb] Edited by Michael Becker on 06-12-2011 19:13 |

Have a little patience Paul, I will. I just wanted to wait, until I know whether this darker fly in the right is the corresponding female. If so I could submit two pictures at once  Michael Edited by Michael Becker on 06-12-2011 20:17 |

If so I could submit two pictures at once Michael almost certainly, i see nothing about the female which does not fit versicolor, but the clinching feature is not visible. do you have the specimens? |

No sorry, I still don't collect. Is it so, that the males have this orange blot, and the females not, or is this just a varability in the species and not a sexualdimorphism? Michael |
