Recently in the Italian Enthomologists Forum (FEI) Silvano Biondi, expert in Coleoptera Attelabidae, asked for the determination of flies emerging from material collected in Gabon. Here is the link http://www.entomo...64#p461164 He is interested in knowing something more on those parassitoids and is keeping the specimens emerging from the leaves rolls collected in Gabon. Best regards, Carlo |

Very interesting, but I have no idea which family this is. An Acalyptratae, hence not a Tachinidae ! Theo |

Hello Carlo & Theo, This is a Chloropidae. The wing venation is diagnostic. They are known to parasitise many orders of insects. Here is an example: https://onlinelib....tb00079.x Kind regards, Ectemnius |
