I found this flies always near Inula flowers. Last time I couldn't photograoph it, but yesterday I get a picture. The habitat is salty prairie of Suaeda vera and Phragmites australis, surrounded by dry steppe-lands. The fly was in the leaves of a strange Inula sp. with succulent leaves (adapted to salty environment).

I find it very similar to the gallery one Stomorrhina lunata, but I don't know if can be more similar species here.

Near Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain, about 200 meters high, dry continental-mediterranean climate.




Thanks

No, there are other Rhiniinae but there is only one Stomorhina lunata (that is: in Europe).

Thanks... then, not Stomorhina? What genus can be?

---

More opinions? What genus is it?

---

I think this is Stomorhina lunata, a male. That is what Theo said.

---

Stomorhina lunata! Theo told you,

---

Oh! I understood that Theo tell me that this is another Rhiniinae, and that in the genus Stomorrhina the only European species is lunata.

Sorry, my english...

It could have been interpreted in that way, so you're not to blame.
