Hello,

I need help to ID this Tachinid, it seems to be a Spallanzania genus:

08.08.2014 - North Italy - Peglio (Como) - 650m

Thanks for the help!

Regards,
Marcello

I think you are right, on account of the whitish basicosta.

The ocellars are proclinate, so it can't be Spallanzania.

I am thinking some kind of Chaetogena, though not sure !!

@Henrik: thanks for your help! We tried Wink

@Theo: Thank you so much Theo, I have never seen this genus before, do you think a (poor) lateral photo and a frontal photo could help?

Thanks for the help!

Marcello

That helps.

Likely a Masicera species.
