This looks similar to the Carcelia sp. I posted earlier.

It does rather look like Carcelia, though again I'd like to see the lateral head view from a little lower down. When you see a Carcelia under the microscope the eye height is obvious but photos can be deceptive. In Carcelia specimens in my collection the distance between the lower eye margin and the mouth edge is extremely thin - being as wide as or slightly wider than the width of antenna 3. Anyway, it would be nice to see this specimen! Wink

Well, the tibiae are black (Black !) and I see 4 or at least 3 STPL, both rule Carcelia out.
Small chance it's a female of Aplomyia, we can't see enough of tergite 5.
Otherwise, I'm lost and need to see the specimen

Aplomyia would (in England) suggest that there are Lysandra sp. in the vicinity. Smile

They do look quite similar to (but much better than!) my photos of Aplomyia confinis too http://tachinidae...brcno=5001

I've compared it with my collection, and it seems to be consistent with female Aplomyia confinis.
It's not a sure ID, though, just likely at best.

Aplomyia is a parasitoid on any Lycaenidae, often Theclinae.

Which is no problem around Moscow.

Many thanks Theo and Chris. I will check whether I have additional pictures of abdomen that might help.
