collected 2 Tachinidae from a dry area (gravel pit) in southern Sweden in june

I suppose both flies are the same species?!

Baumhaueria, I guess you only have goniaeformis.

Pretty rare species !

Exellent Theo!

I did a search in the Swedish database over diptera, but there are no records (until now)
Off course there are probably some records in the Swedish museums, but it seems like quite rare fly

Or I have totally misjugded the length of the pre-alar bristle in the first pic, the second pic shows it to be short, and it is actually Istochaeta.
Even rarer !

And you have I. longicornis, that is a clear candidate.

Sorry for the mistake.
