This genitalia was dissected from a Pollenia collected specimen (Spain: Girona: 25.viii.2012) in a liquid trap and it was in bad condition.
It looked as Pollenia angustigena (Rugnes 1991b ) spite hasn't an outer posthumeral setae. I looked the rudis species group keys (Rugnes 1987b ) and tried to match it with P.luteovillosa, a similar species without outer ph.
I have no experience dissecting brachycera genitalia and Pollenia species genitalia look very similar to me.
