Can a species be defined here? Only this one photo available, mid June on a meadow in Vienna.

Hello Lorin, Anthomyia cf. procellaris male. If I remember correctly, there are one or two very rare lookalikes, but I don't know, which species. Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

I can't remember having ever seen a single female at that location. https://insektenf...post415697 Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Within the pluvialis-complex, the rarer species closely resembling A. procellaris should be A. imbrida and A. bazini.

In this paper dealing with the pluvialis-complex, only for *A. procellaris* it is stated that the three post-sutural black spots can be confluent, while in the others the spots should be clearly separated. https://www.resea...thomyiidae Edited by Carnifex on 07-01-2021 16:25 Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.
