Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Anthomyiidae time again?
#1
hi flyforum,
I tried to see the analvein in the wing but because my diafragma didn't co-operate I can't find them so easily. But other characteristics in the wing and long hair on scutellum and thorax tells me, that this must be a Anthomyiidae?
Is it?
Is it easy to say if this is Pegomya spec.?
What is specific characteristic for Pegomya spec.?
I am curious what the flyforum will tell

The long hairs 'on' the scutellum are actually situated at the bottomside of the scutellum, are they not, Nikita ?
(and therefore invisible in practically any picture)

You mean fine hairs on underside of scutellum?
If so, yes, but this character doesn't much help:
1. Even with microscop one has to have some skills to find this hairs
2. A lot of Muscidae have this hairs too...

Thanks, that is what I meant, not sure if that applies to Robert as well.

No, I meant the few long hairs on the upperside of the scutellum.
I know about the excisting of the little hairs on the edge, under the scutellum(from my book).
Nice you could see that this is Fannia sp. and even more that it is F. pallitibia.
Is it easy to tell what makes this Fannia sp.?
I am a absolute beginner and try to find some nice characteristics..
Thanks again for your help

Normal Fanniidae characters aren't visible here - short A1, curved A2,
d on t3...
So, mostly by impression (see Gallery

)
