Pollenia Sp.??
awab
I?m studying the died animal fauna in Jordan. I have this spices from:

Jordan (Jarash) May 2006. High land in OAK forest. I think it is one of two Pollenia viatica or P. mediterranea? I need help Frown.

Hi Awab
Pollenia is a difficult genus, though there are useful characters in the male and female genitalia. However, unless someone has done the basic work to a high standard (such as that produced by Knut Rognes on the Fennoscandian and other faunas), it is easy to be misled. Sad
If you have only a few Pollenia specimens, it is probably easier to send them to an expert for identification, particularly if you are going to publish the results. They may welcome the opportunity to look at material from Jordan, and you will have correctly named material for reference! Cool
