I found this flies always near Inula flowers. Last time I couldn't photograoph it, but yesterday I get a picture. The habitat is salty prairie of Suaeda vera and Phragmites australis, surrounded by dry steppe-lands. The fly was in the leaves of a strange Inula sp. with succulent leaves (adapted to salty environment). I find it very similar to the gallery one Stomorrhina lunata, but I don't know if can be more similar species here. Near Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain, about 200 meters high, dry continental-mediterranean climate.   Thanks  |

No, there are other Rhiniinae but there is only one Stomorhina lunata (that is: in Europe). Theo |

I think this is Stomorhina lunata, a male. That is what Theo said.

Oh! I understood that Theo tell me that this is another Rhiniinae, and that in the genus Stomorrhina the only European species is lunata. Sorry, my english...  |

It could have been interpreted in that way, so you're not to blame.
