Thank you Susan! What makes it Scathophaga for you? and not Suillia sp. ? and.. What about Scathophaga suilla? (looks like it.., but I am not very sure..) Scathophaga Suilla: important characters are red antennae, plumose arista, red shoulders and black apexes of yellow/red femoras. Where are the black apexes of yellow/red femoras? (where can I find these things.?) Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 16-10-2007 12:55 |

see MID femur, in ventral femur you can see very fine yellow "hairs" (setae). Scathophaga has always those setae. I advice you to see OVERVIEWS: here --> http://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=23&thread_id=8790 |
