Hello, A beautiful black Tachinid for Theo and Chris... With this broad frons, could it be a Gonia? pierred attached the following image:  [123.9Kb] Edited by pierred on 14-08-2007 09:10 Pierre Duhem |

Yes, it looks like a Gonia to me with that broad, convex, yellow frons but that's as far as I can go - so it's over to Theo for a species  |

Moreover, the ocellar bristles are reclinate, so it's definitely GOnia or ally. However, it might be such an ally. Is this picture taken by any chance in the mountains ? (we can't see the face, that's why I have to start guessing) Theo |

Aha. That explains a lot. You made it difficult IN that case, it's Onychogonia, 3 very similar species (and little experience from my side) Theo |
