avery nice pictures. Difficult genus, though.
Recently, the Rhiini have been raised to family level, so the family is
Rhiniidae now. I expect this change to be generally accepted, given the paraphyly of the classic concept of Calliphoridae.

Hi Hendrik,

Could be, but check John Deeming's recent review of the Emirates, and you see it can be many things...

a Google search about John Deeming returns very little data. what is the name of the review? "Review of Rhiniidae of UAE"?

Thank You Sir Theo.

I didn't know about diptera.org. Super link, Theo. Thank You.

I agree about google. I hate google. I can never find anything. I really hate it when google changes a name without asking. I also hate it when I search for a genus with a feminine name and photos of Women show up instead of diptera. For example, Melinda. Lord have mercy! Google stinks!

edit: no I don't just type a genus name and press search. I enter the entire binomial nomenclature. I remember searching for something with a feminine name and not a single diptera appeared in the results. I had to surround the entry with quotations. You'd think that they could program the search software to recognize binomial nomenclature.

I think it might be R. sinaiensis.
