Can anyone tell me please, is Fonseca right to show (fig 6h in his 1968 Handbook to Muscidae) setae arising from the central sclerotised part of the prosternum of Morellia simplex? I was looking at what I think is a Morellia last night. The prosternum is fairly straight-sided so it ought to be simplex, but the setae are coming from the skinny stuff surrounding the sclerotised part, the part Fonseca shows shaped like an axehead. Thanks in anticipation John Bratton |

I've re-examined the fly and I think I had misinterpreted Fonseca's drawing, so no need to reply. John |
