Hello,
This Tachinid emerged from a
Carcharodus alceae pupa in Provence (Southern France).
Is its genus at least IDable with these pics?
7 mm; 26.viii; La Ciotat (13 France)

Possibly
Phryxe but I'd need the specimen to really say for sure and to go further :)

Thank you Chris.
It's the only Tachinid I collected, so it would feel too lonely if I send it ;)

Definitely not Phryxe, but I am not going to guess what it is....

Hello,
A few years later...
I found this paper:
Cerretti P, Tschorsnig H-P, Lopresti M, Giovanni FD. MOSCHweb — a matrix-based interactive key to the genera of the Palaearctic Tachinidae (Insecta, Diptera). ZooKeys. 2012;(205):5-18. doi:10.3897/zookeys.205.3409.
and using its
interactive key I get to
Thecocarcelia.
A member of the french forum insect.org
mentioned a key to species by Cerretti which led us to
Thecocarcelia trichops Herting, 1967.
