Thanks; what a varied family; where are the large spines that I though characterized tachinids ? - obviously not here and obviously not a universal feature of the family |

Phasiinae are, generally speaking, the atypical Tachinidae (but very typical in itself !), often few bristles, many colours, short forms and then again very elongated ones (Cylindromyia), sometimes even mistaken for a Syrphidae (the next relative to Pipunculidae, just kidding). Hosts are exclusively (with 1 little exception) in Hemiptera. Theo |
