...but not without errors  Only the abdominal tergites are visible in your photo - in this case the tergites cover also most of the ventral side of the abdomen. And I think area 9 isn't really the propleuron, which is between the anterior spiracle and the neck.

We can see a little of sternites as well because the fly is slightly tilted! What do you think? Concerning area 9 you are right, but then what is that region? Please let us know! Thank you.Any more opinions will be wellcome. |

Jorge Kahis is right. In tachinids the tergites wrap right around and the sternites are small or you see very little of them, even with a ventral view. I think you were fooled by the change in the pattern which must be caused by different dusting (different sized scales giving different reflections maybe ?) Susan |

yes, Susan. You must be quite right! Perhaps the different sized scales fooled me.. or another.  So, there are just 2 errors. Not bad. Let's go. I'm waiting for bigger photos of these fly!

Ventro-lateral view showing the "wrap-around" tergites. (Jorge: larger photos to you later today - hopefully) |
