Dear colleagues, can you help me with the identification of this Sarcophaginae; the partly yellow/orange abdomen is quite striking yet I couldn't find a species that matches this characteristic. Collected on a Polynesian atoll, so very likely an introduced species. Thanks for any help and input Best Sebastian basti_st attached the following image:  [257.87Kb] Edited by basti_st on 06-11-2021 07:28 |

Looking at a catalog (http://hbs.bishop...gidae.html) I find about 7 species known from Polynesia. Based on the species names and distributions I would start by comparing Oxysarcodexia taitensis and O. varia, but don't take that as a genus ID. |
