Hello! These Tachinids are very abundant at the moment here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. Is it Phasia aurigera?  Another one: http://insektenin...era_M2.jpg A female (considerably smaller) of the same species?

Hello, Jan and Paul! Thanks a lot! The first one looks quite similar to the species on the homepage of this site! I should not have bookmarked directly to the forum... ;-) I have here another Phasia (?) female from 17th Sept. 2004 with a striped thorax. Is it also P. aurigera or another species? Thanks!

So, you have managed terrific without me ! Phasia aurigera it is, first a male, about the second one I'm not 100 % sure, and the third is a female aurigera. But beware of quite similar aurulans !! Theo Zeegers |

But beware of quite similar aurulans !! Thanks a lot! Here I have another possible Phasia (?), photographed today here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. Most surprising was the size: it was very tiny for a Phasia, only half or two thirds the size of the other females posted in this thread.   Here two more pictures with other small flies and a nettle moth (Anthophila fabriciana) on it for comparison: http://insektenin...asia_3.jpg http://insektenin...asia_4.jpg Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Difficult to tell. Most likely a male Ph. obesa, which would explain the size. Ph. barbifrons is even half this size !! Theo |

Today I also meet Phasia which looks like Phasia aurigera from Juergen Peters, but the shape of male's yellow spot on the thorax is a little bit different. Around Moscow, 10sept, a lot on Aster amelloides and Solidago gigantea. Still Phasia aurigera or related sp.?

And there you are: Phasia aurulans male ! (not aurigera !!) For which I warned The shape of the spot on the thorax is indeed characteristic, as already suggested. Theo Zeegers |

Thank you Theo. I remembered that you requested information about some Tachnida-Phasiida, but I didn't find this request. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Look in the section 'Distribution queries'. It was about Phasia barbifrons, a very small species (3 mm.) Theo |
