Hello Tachinid-addicts (and everybody else)
Is it possible to identify this Cylindromyia to species ? The picture is not very sharp, but it is the only one I have.
Sclaigneaux , Belgium June 28 2006

Thanks for your help

I don't think it is possible because features like vibrissae and leg bristles aren't visible - and it isn't bicolor (the easy one!). Smile

True, the black vittae on the thorax are very broad, if the picture is not misleading, so in nearly all cases this will be a male of C. interrupta. Given locality (and date), this might be considered a positive ID.
