Thanks! Interesting! So then it's Lydina aenea? Cannot find Lydina or Polideini in The Tachinids (Diptera: Tachinidae) of Central Europe.

You have only the one species in Europe. It keys out at couplet 114 with summary on page 95 in the English version of
The Tachinids (Diptera: Tachinidae) of Central Europe. That publication places
Lypha and
Lydina in tribe Linnaemyini. The original German version was written before O'Hara defined the Polideini and revised the North American species.
