Hello, I would like to ask the subfamily/tribe/genus name of this small Tachinidae. It was photographed in July 14, 2019 and was sitting on Humulus japonicus plant. Any help is greatly appreciated! wonwoong attached the following image:  [128.2Kb] Edited by wonwoong on 15-11-2020 14:37 |

Maybe Female of Metadrinomyia xanthokolos Byun and Han, 2009 ? The piercing ovipositer is shown in the picture, though blurry.

The photo won’t win the Nobel prize, but given the rarity of this species, please submit to the gallery. Theo |

Theo I was able to identify this one because of the initial specimen identification from you! I became familiar with the specimen's morphology, and then remembered that I had a photo which looked like it. Many thanks  p.s. Photo submitted to gallery Wonwoong |
