Dear friends This tachinid has puzzled me. Dunno even the genus of this one. Medium size, spotted in the same place as the Acrocera... 1500 m in this Sunday. Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 17-07-2010 09:11 |

Superficially looks like Eriothrix but the antennae are tiny and the petiole too long. The name that is rattling around in my brain AND coincidentally the one that pops out in Tschorsnig's software key is ... Zeuxia  I don't know the species in your part of the world though

Zeuxia it is, you can see the row of proclinate orbitals. Z. zernyi is this red, if I remember correctly, need tocheck Theo |

thanks, Theo. I'm eager for the final confirmation. It seems that we have some Zeuxia! |

Yes, I remembered it correctly: zernyi Most Zeuxia are very obvious as such: * appendix to bend * topcel stalked * both sexes with row of proclinate orbitals. however, there are exceptions to all of this ! Theo |

Today I was in the same spot and I found over 20 Zeuxia  They are rather common at 1500 m |
