Hi,

Is this Pegomya bicolor?


clovis : France : mons en baroeul : 59 : 06/04/2012
Altitude : NR - Taille : 10 mm environ
Réf. : 83529

---

I can't do better than Pegomya sp.

---

I collected it, could that help?

---

Yes, if you send it to someone who can key it out and compare the genitalia with Michael Ackland's drawings. Joke may be more reliable than me (in many ways :D), or you could ask Ackland himself if he's not too busy. If all else fails, I'll have a go.

---

Ok, that seams to be a good idea, but sorry, who is Joke?

I have it dry, is it enough for genitalia? (I should easily find an other specimen from my garden to have it in alcohol)
And i could send a specimen to both of you if you what to have a go :)

---

You will find Joke (javanerkelens) in the members list here: http://www.dipter...lookup=846 - she has done some serious studying in Anthomyiidae. For me it is only a game B) But if you have more male specimens I would be happy to check one out. If you send a Personal Message I will reply with my address.

---

Stephen always things to less about his expertise about Anthomyiidae, so I think he can perfect ID those species!:)

---

That explain why i didnt find any Joke in the member list :)

So would you be interested by this specimen Joke or you want Stephen to try?

It's rainy here so i didn't found any other specimen yet. :|

But it could be a perfect exercise for you to compare your result :D (if i found an other specimen, as i hope)

---

Just send the specimen to Stephen, i have all the trust he can give a proper ID!

---

Ok, thanks for you help to both of you.
Stephen, i contact you :)

Hi,
Stephen confirms it: this is Pegomya bicolor. :D
Thanks to both of you.
