Hello friends,

Again used intkey and it got me as far as Anthomyiidae, Fanniidae, Muscidae or Scathophagidae. Scathophagidae are out. So are Fannidae I think. So that leaves Anthomyiidae and Muscidae. I put my bet on Anthomyiidae. Did I hit the jackpot?

Thanks,

Andr? Jas

Hey guys,

Is this too easy or too hard? Grin Any comment would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Looks like Helina depuncta (Muscidae). Does it have three postsutural dorsocentral setae and three sternopleural (katepisternal) setae? Hard to tell. Perhaps it has 4 sternopleurals, in that case it is not depuncta. In any case I'd call this a Helina.

Thank you Kahis. On the original images I can see it's got 3 postsutural dorsocentral setae, but I can't make out how many sternopleurals it has. So that makes it Helina sp?
