Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Brachyopa: more ID possible? --> Brachyopa panzeri

Hello kuv,

before i rest my case, i want to cross examine the size of the pit so that the size becomes relevant sans microscopic examination.

I may have discovered yet another weak scientific encryption and cracked it. Or it is a coincidence (as protectionist conspiracy theories are concerned.) Do notice that the numbers of the figures are four and six. In order to judge size differences, one must figure out a method to prove the size based on a photo of the pit. In doing so, my first thought is to see how many times the pit will fit inside of the antennae. When i test this method, the amount, surprisingly, is four times for panzeri and six times for dorsata. According to the drawings from experts of Brachyopa. When i test this measurement using your photo, i arrive at four times. Thus, it fits with B. panzeri. The pit on the photo at spessart also fits into the antenna four times. The pit in jarjar's photos (Christoph) also fits four times.

I think that B. panzeri is a fine id based upon all of this data.

I will attach images to illustrate this concept.

Best wishes,
John
