This one from Cutolli, near Ajaccio. July 30th 2008. It struck me as rather smallish for a Cylindromyia. Thanks for your suggestions Philippe Philippe moniotte attached the following image:  [143.98Kb] Edited by Philippe moniotte on 04-09-2008 11:41 |

Given the wing venation, it looks like a female pusilla Theo |

Yes, look at the last C. pusilla. I totally missed it ! Then I learned the angular wing venation is quite typical for pusilla. Then this one was easy. Cylindromyia is a difficult genus, especially (in Europe) the brassicaria-complex. Theo |
