Hi,

Sorry for the low quality of the pictures but with the few points we can notice as r4+5 with petiole, colour of the thorax and these huge antennas, can we go further than the family ?

Could it be one species of Periscepsia, maybe ?

Are we sure this is not a Miltogramminae ?

Thanks for your answer Theo, you're damn right ! Tachinid was my first thought but I didn't know there where Miltogramminae with such as big antennas !

I checked and was attracted by Metopia campestris but after checking all Miltogramminae on LMDI I couldn't find any of them with R4+5 petiolate, they all seems to have R5 cell more or less open...

Do you have something in your mind ?

Thanks.

Hello Eugene, Ligeria angusticornis seems to be quite close, but it's abdomen is shiny black and without dusting (as is Erynnia's).

Yeah, but the photo is a little overexposed !

Well, there is a very long extension to bend of vein M, so it can never be a Blondeliini.
One of the bigger issues.

Well, there's no obvious solution !

Got it ! It is Chaetoria stylata (nomen est omen).
According to the world catalogue by O'Hara at all, first record ever for France.

Well, it is just France by a close margin, I notice.

Sorry for the late answer...

Wow, thank you very much Theo for this amazing new, that makes my day ! ! !

I'll try to find it again, as far as I can see on Gbif obs, it's possible to find it during almost all year long... But maybe not here as it's now the northest obs...

Thank you again to both of you ! |t
