Thx Stephane, I see by rather than from- no your English is great!
Stephane Lebrun 09 May 2015 11:53:44
No, I would understand : "Calypters small, the lower one is projecting over the upper one by 3/4" (my english is probably not the best).
oceanlis2000 09 May 2015 10:47:50
Thx Stephane p296 Seguy Calypters small, le thoracique saillant des 3/4 the lower is 3/4 the size or length of the upper? is that how you understand it
Stephane Lebrun 08 May 2015 21:20:06
I assume the sentence talk about calypters (cuillerons) : it means that the lower (thoracic) one is protruding.
oceanlis2000 07 May 2015 14:11:46
Can anyone help out with a translation for le thoracique saillant.. (its not thorax!) Thx

Thanks Tony. Curious all those flies belong to different families but all of them have white face. Maybe that is useful to see inside burrows?
