Hello, Do you have an idea for this Tachinidae (male I think) ? (Belgium, 12-07-2011). Thanks Christine Devillers attached the following image:  [191.95Kb] Edited by Christine Devillers on 02-02-2012 19:25 |

Hmm, not sure what it is but it looks very interesting

Thanks Chris, I think it's the first time that I see this one. Perhaps Theo will have an idea of what it could be ? |

With two widely spaced IA can be some Leucostomatini, like Labigastera.

Thanks Erikas, So the 2 widely spaced ia bristles behind the suture, the ocellar bristles raised and bent slightly backwards, and the large calyptra would be a good indication for Leucostomatini ? In the key, there are 7 genus in Leucostomatini: Cinochira is very different (the median vein runs in an even, weak curve to the wing edge without an angle forming the post-angular vein) Clairvillia or Brullaea) have abdomen partially red Leucostoma has petiole of R5 distinctly longer than r-m Dionaea has 1 pair of strong acr before the suture (I see no ac before the suture on my pics) So the 2 only possible genus should be Labigastera and Eulabidogaster, but this last one isn't given in Belgium on Fauna europaea and obs.be If it is a male of Labigastera (no oe), as I see a complete row of marginal bristles on Tergites 2 et 3, it should be Labigastera forcipata (in the key, on T2 and T3 all the other species have only 2 dorsal marginal bristles and on each side 1+2 latero-marginals) Do you agree ?

It was my first impression too, I just forgot to mention the complete name.

Thanks I've read in the key that 2 hosts are given for Lapigastera forcipata : Enoplops scapha and Dicranocephalus agilis. I've seen Enoplops scapha at that place, and also a Dicranocephalus but the species medius not agilis. |
