This Tachinid was caught on 15.VII.2005 on the Dutch Waddensea Island of Griend. Bodylength 7 mm. I get hopelessly stuck in Tschorsnig & Herting. Who can give me a clue? Thanks, Date  |

I think it is Miltogramminae of the family Sarcophagidae.

Thanks Paul, I was confused because of the bare arista, but Miltogramma it seems to be! With the help of Pape (1987) I named it M. punctatum. Not quite happy with all the characteristics, but the rest was no option. Cheers, Date |

Hi Date, Paul is right, it is a Miltogramminae. There are many more genera in this subfamily than the genus Miltogramma, but this one is a Miltogramma (though difficult to explain based on this picture). Anyway, it is Miltogramma germari, the dutch coastal dune species. As could be expected from Griend, Theo Zeegers |

Theo, Thanks for the identification. Hereby I can add it as a new species for the island. There are a few solitary bee-species overthere, so maybe we'll see Miltogramma again next year. I will check mij fly-collection of Rottumerplaat. Maybe it contains are a few Miltogramma as well. Date |
