Female Admontia have strongly flattened frontal tarsi. This is a female Blondelia nigripes. Theo |

Thank you Theo - this time tachinidae.eu led me to Admontia while a resembling one (same place nearly same date) is filed as Blondelia nigripes. Checking the reason why Blondelia disappeared in my interpreted key I found "2 dc pre" on/off. btw: Cerretti (2010): I tachinidi della fauna italiana says about A. seria: "Femmina: tarso anteriore stretto" (female's fore tars narrow)? Greetings, Eric |

Yes. I would never use this world (at least, not according to the translation). I would say 'flattened' By the way, basal thickened part of arista is longer in Admontia than in Blondelia, which also makes you (me) reject Admontia instantly. Theo |

Thanks a lot for the quick reply, Theo, and the very useful information to reject Admontia if in doubt. As you said some time ago: "All tachinids are grey but some are more grey than others." And these are very grey!

Always nice to be confronted with your own slogans. "Anything you say, can (and will) be used against you"  |
