This is maybe an easily identifiable Mucid. Phaonia sp?

I would say a male Phaonia perdita.

Hi Stephan, This fly seems to have 2 strong ac. This should rule out perdita, should not it? For a male Phaonia this has very broad space between eyes. On the other hand what other species has this feature. But the description seems to otherwise fit. The only image of P. perdita that I could see here: [url?http://popgen.unimaas.nl/~jlindsey/commanster/Insects/Flies/Muscidae.html]Web site bz J lindsey from Holland.[/url] I think this site is not relaible as judged by some of the Muscid photos that are probably not even Muscids.

Hi Gabor, the 2 pairs of prescutellar ac are OK for P. perdita. Also, frons width is OK (said to be twice as wide as width of flagellomere, so rather broad for a male Phaonia). It is present in the gallery, see Nikita's photo. For the website you have mentionned, there were numerous IDs to correct... Stephane. |

Thx Stephane, now I am completely convinced. Somehow I overlooked Nikita's image. And google also did not come up with it.
