The fly below was a small 5-6mm long fly. Found in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

It is not a fly, it is Hymenoptera, probably Ichneumonidae. Katka |

Hello, An Ophioninae ? Happy to see the copulation with the female putting its ovipositor to the side. Edited by pierred on 17-01-2009 16:24 Pierre Duhem |

the one on the right is the female. That's the one with the Ovipositor in the other photo's.

Not Ophioninae for me! Ovipôsitor is too much long! Edited by cthirion on 17-01-2009 23:55 cthirion |

On that you will be very lucky to get an answer. Camille did have a possible posted, but I think she's had a change of mind. Difficult from photo's, but if anyone can, she can. How many Brownie Points is that worth ?  |

from the http://www.forum.hymis.de/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1482&p=5049#p5049, two users there too said Cremastinae. So I guess its Cremastinae, right? Camille f you read this, what do you think? Muhammad ____________________ www.micro2macro.net |

Roger, rogerthomason wrote: the one on the right is the female. That's the one with the Ovipositor in the other photo's. Are you sure? On the first two pictures, the end of the abdomen is rather conical, with the ovipositor aligned. In the copulation picture, the right one has a rather square abdomen. But I can be wrong (it often happens to me). Pierre Duhem |

I think the shape of the abdomen tip has altered because the ovipositor is upright. Certainly the thoracic colour of the right-hand wasp matches that of the female in the upper pictures.

Pierre, did you ever see Cremastinae? For Anomalinae and Ophioninae, the length of the onvipositor should not exceed the height of the abdomen, ! The shape of the petiole does not stick either! to see characteristic of Cremastinae here: http://bitkikorumamuzesi.netfirms.com/ichneumonidae_anahtar.htm#Cremastinae The ressemblance is wrong! cthirion |

Muhammad, beautiful photo and rare, I do not know the fauna of your country! I work especially Ichneumoninae and Diplazontinae d' Europe.. For the other subfamilies, I see when the answers are erroneous but I cannot always put another thing to replace. I am thus very careful, Pelle on Hymis and Komaric here seems me to be right! There is always a risk on photograph considering which one does not see all the characters necessary! cthirion |
