Or Pandelleia sp (or one relative)... this is a beautiful Tachinidae! Wait for Chris or Theo. Chris will scream with this Tachinidae. :)

Very interesting fly - I immediately thought that it must be close to
Rondania, from the long petiole and the long ovipositor, but then I seemed to remember that I said the same recently about another photo and Theo came up with a genus that I am unfamiliar with :)
EDIT: yes
here it is and Theo said it was possibly
Pandelleia :)
Just keep catching plenty Cesa and if you have any spare then I can look after them for you ;)

Many thanks Gentlemen!
We have currently two major problems.
The first is sending condition of the material.
The second is obtaining permission in sending the biological material to abroad.
As we are not a member state of EU, we have this problem.
Is it all right, if we remove the minute pin from the fly before placing it in plastic vial supported with cotton? Or else a better sending way, via post? Perhaps, an image of the vial containing a fly will be useful.
On the other hand, we investigate the possibility for our second problem.
Thanks again.
:)

I think, as far as sending pinned material, any removal of pins would destroy the specimens. Best to just send them pinned to foam inside a protective box and then put this box inside a larger box with lots of padding (cotton wool or bubble-wrap etc.). I have received many specimens from around Europe and the World without significant damage.
I'm not sure about your laws on export - but the material is not CITES restricted so there is no problem receiving it in the UK or most European countries :)

The specimen is very VERY interesting indeed,
Either Rondania or Pandelleia (that's the one, Chris).
Please do not remove the pin and find a legal way to transport it. There is no problem in Europe, but there might be one in Turkey, I think Cesa is familiar with the problems. Nevertheless, I got material by post from several universities in Turkey without problems.
