Hi, I photographed this small Tachinidae in Hundsheim, eastern Lower Austria in very warm and dry biotop on August 7, 2022. Much smaller than Cylindromiya (at least the ones I have seen so far).
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Eckhart

Parasitoid flies are very variable in size depending on the size of their host.

Yes, C. interrupta. Size also varies between species ….
