Hi, this Tachinidae was today in my malaise here in Loviisa, Southern Finland. At first I belived it's Athrycia but after closer look I'm not sure any more. Jari JariF attached the following image:  [150.32Kb] Edited by JariF on 23-07-2008 20:42 |

Can we see the tops of the wings? I was thinking it could be an Exorista spp. |

Chris is right. The crossvein is not that oblique (it is a known error !) and the bristles on the face are different from Voriini. Given the discal setae on tergites, it is subgenus Adenia (so, rustica and allies). Theo |
