avery nice pictures. Difficult genus, though. Recently, the Rhiini have been raised to family level, so the family is Rhiniidae now. I expect this change to be generally accepted, given the paraphyly of the classic concept of Calliphoridae. Theo |

Hi Hendrik, Could be, but check John Deeming's recent review of the Emirates, and you see it can be many things... |

a Google search about John Deeming returns very little data. what is the name of the review? "Review of Rhiniidae of UAE"?

Thank You Sir Theo. I didn't know about diptera.org. Super link, Theo. Thank You. I agree about google. I hate google. I can never find anything. I really hate it when google changes a name without asking. I also hate it when I search for a genus with a feminine name and photos of Women show up instead of diptera. For example, Melinda. Lord have mercy! Google stinks! edit: no I don't just type a genus name and press search. I enter the entire binomial nomenclature. I remember searching for something with a feminine name and not a single diptera appeared in the results. I had to surround the entry with quotations. You'd think that they could program the search software to recognize binomial nomenclature. Edited by johnes81 on 15-09-2017 21:05 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

I think it might be R. sinaiensis.
