Two different medium sized(~10mm) Calliphorid specimens, both look like some sort of Phumosia. Thanks for the help. Specimen 1:    Specimen 2:

What a careless mistake. I must have mixed up a character while sorting to family. Thanks for the help and correction. I keyed it using a Muscid key got Dichaetomyia as well. Goh, T.G. Museum of Zoology, University of Malaya |

The 1st specimen could be Dichaetomyia quadrata and the second Dichaetomyia malaya (without any guarantee though).

Thanks Stephane. Are there any keys or descriptions that I use to confirm the identification?

I used the key by Shinonaga and Thinh : Muscidae of Vietnam - Jpn.J.syst.Entom, 6(1): 37-58. May 25, 2000. and Emden, F.I. van. (1965): Diptera. Vol. 7. Muscidae. Part 1.. I don't know if there are other documents available for your area. Stephane. |

I did a search and I don't have any access to those keys. Emden (1965) is quite a rare book, my library only has up to Diptera vol. 6. I guess I'll just trust your identifications until I can track down those references. Goh, T.G. Museum of Zoology, University of Malaya |
