oh my, at first I thought Dexia :(
If Dinera we´ve got just 3 recorded ones: D. carinifrons, D. ferina and D. grisescens; the first 2 seem b/w, could it be then D. grisescens?
Thanks :)

I would have gone for Dexia / Bithia direction also.. just by feeling, as it does not look immediately to any of the three Dinera to me.

offf these Tachinidae subfamily´s jumps by appearance drive me crazy,
- Have all Bithia the M vein like this? http://diptera.in...d_id=14965
- This Dinera grisescens has a similar colour at least: http://diptera.in...to_id=3017
?
Thanks

I think Dexia was actually a good idea.
In case of Dinera it might only be grisescens, given the colours, however, the excavation on syntergiet 1&2 is complete.
The wing venation with this short appendix to bend is typical in Dexia.
Bithia makes sense as well, however, I have never seen a Bithia with this appendix.

I haven´t considered Bithia (I didn´t know it), thanks for the explanation :)
