The most common Cylindromyia with discal bristles on the abdomen is C. interrupta. C. auriceps lacks discals. |

auriceps: abdomen usually with discal bristles. interrupta: Apical scutellar bristles missing. auriceps: Crossed apical bristles present. I can´t see if there are apicals or not. amaira attached the following image:  [22.69Kb] Edited by amaira on 06-10-2018 10:40 |

All three photos of auriceps in the gallery (possibly only two specimens) lack discal bristles. I think I see small, crossed apical bristles on the scutellum. |

* discals are variable in auriceps * thoracic colour pattern does not fit auriceps. * given the size of the flowers, your '13 mm.' must be off. It is a lot smaller * what looks like apical scutellar bristles, seems much too large for these. So I am thinking, it might be something else. * all in all, I am not certain. Either a auriceps with peculiar light or a interrupta with pseudo-apicals. Theo |

Hallo, Can the enlargement help? I think 13mm is a bit too big, more like 10mm, measured by the flowers.

So the apicals are present and small. Auricps, after all. Theo |

Hi Theo, I understand that correctly, it is C. auriceps. Greeting Udo |
