Fance, Dordogne. Damp clearfell area in deciduous woodland. 4.vi.2012. Size 9mm. On Leucanthemum vulgare (Oxeye Daisy). Ectophasia crassipennis and small Phasia were also present. Xysta holosericea - a robust Phasiinae with few bristles. Jorge posted the first photo on Diptera.info for this species just last month. http://www.dipter...d_id=47574 Steve |

Show off  very well done though - a really unusual tachinid. Very Phasia x Ectophaia in form.
