Si, the vertex is broad but lacks proclinate orbitals. Internediate. Genitalia are decisive.Theo |

Take a plastic box and put a folded old newspaper in. Make it completely moist (ie full of damp, but just no water). Put the fly on an itex in for 8 - 12 hours ( I do it overnight) Then all should be flexible. The genitalia tend to be connected with very strong muscles in Tachina.,So try the legs first. We only need a dorsal view of the syncer us, so no need to get the full genitalia completely out. When done, block the genitalia with a pin, prevent if from bending beck in and let it dry for 24 hours. Theo |

Excellent ! Tachina fera it is, the hump on dorsal side of syncercus is characteristic. Theo |
