Well, not surprisingly when one thinks there are a lot of Baccha species in South America. But in this case it looks more like a male Pseudodoros sp. Another possibility would be Ocyptamus, but it looks very much like a male Pseudodoros clavatus. Whether this species has look-a-likes in southern america I don't know for sure. So, to be on the safe side I think a male Pseudodoros sp. Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

This specimen will not fit in a little plastic tube, and is not going into the freezer!

To make things clear, yes I am Myiam from Gent! Not Myriam from Brazil, though I would like to exchange with her in the winter months! Thanks Janet for coming to my defence, besides I'm an endangered specie and on top not a Diptera, though I would love a pair of wings! |

@ bonitin: well, you could exchange information about Syrphidae with her... Did you make this photo yourself? Is it so strange for me to think you are Brazilian? @ Roger: must be a lonely concert

Yes, Andre, any picture I have posted is taken by me, and no I am not Brazilian but Belgian (Flemish) though I have some very close friends in Brazil that gave me my nickname 'bonitin'. I have visited Brazil three times but only the last time had a decent camera. I have always been fascinated with anything to do with nature so also Diptera.. Anyway if you want to know more here is the website I have together with my Brazilian-American friend, we are both artists.. http://www.nature... Edited by ChrisR on 16-09-2010 20:51 |
