On the 20th of March I collected some adult pentatomids and one of them was parasitized. Is it possible to identify this specimen of Cylindromyia?

location: Barcelos, Portugal

Hi Rui


Excellent work !

Seems to be a female brassicaria complex.
need to see the specimen to be more precise, difficult group.
