Hi Bernd Pollenia rudis Männchen P. rudis is the most variable of the rudis group; very tricky to id at times but the erect av hairs between av bristles are well visible in your photos. Best wishes, John
Phormia regina Männchen is correct! Best wishes, John
Hi Jürgen, I have been quite busy programming, as you know, so i haven't had alot of time to view threads. Anyway, yes, it is her (Protocalliphora Azurea) and she is lovely I have always enjoyed the presence of this Calliphorid, she is dainty and feminine compared to other Calliphoridae females. Compare these photos to other Calliphoridae females and you will see what i mean. Lovely little fly. Best wishes, John
Zitat von »Ulrich Feldmeier« correct is 7th march 2025! Thank you for the update March is very typical for alot of Pollenia species. February is a bit odd but it is possible to see flies waking up early. Still, March is a much better date to set my mind at ease. I hope that you have a pleasant evening.
Hi Ulrich, Pollenia amentaria Männchen. I am surpised to see this photo from February but it is the amentaria group nonetheless. tip: sometimes a gray dusting is very noticeable on the abdomen but it is not to be mistaken for tessellations. Best wishes, John
Hi Manfred, I agree with your identification and add young/immature male to the title. Best wishes, John
Hi Jürgen, it is one of three species: vomitoria, loewi or uralensis. As you know, vomitoria has a distinct 'beard' of reddish or golden hairs. loewi and uralensis are similar but loewi has a longer first flagellomere than uralensis. loewi females also have a wider frons than uralensis (vitta is 3x width of parafacialia versus 2x) I see no reason to disagree with C. loewi Weibchen Best wishes, John
Hi Una, Pollenia is correct but i cannot see enough to name a species. Best wishes, John
Hi Karl, I see no reason to disagree with Pollenia angustigena Männchen Best wishes, John
Hi Jürgen, it is shocking news. I had no idea that he was ill. Paul has helped so many people and diptera.info exists today because of Paul. I do not know what will happen to the forum but it will not be the same without Paul. For me, diptera.info is synonymous with Paul Beuk. He will not be forgotten and i have already honoured his memory with a moment of silence. Rest in Peace, Paul. Best wishes, John
Hi Karl and Jurgen, Pollenia pediculata Männchen Best wishes, John
Hi Frank, according to the keys of Oosterbroek (The West Palearctic species of Ctenophorinae): the large dark spot on the wing reaches the wing margin and extends into m cells. The dark spot of festiva does not reach the wing margin and the abdomen does not match. Ctenophora ornata Männchen is correct. I know your name from the website fdickert.de - Nice to meet you, Sir. I use your website to check the known species of Germany. Very nice website. Thank you for your work on this site. Best wishe...
Hi Karl, I am happy that you have an id for this fly. Theo is a Tachinidae specialist, so the id is based upon his determination and not mine. Atleast now i know what Besseria looks like. I have not seen one before your post. Best wishes, John
Zitat von »Jürgen Peters« whorl of the antennae I suppose that you are imagining the following antenna: https://www.spessart-fliegen.de/diptera/…IMG_030105.html The wing venation is where you need to focus. The R1, R4+5, Costa, M1 and M2 are clearly not of any Cecidomyiidae sp, which also have wings covered in fine hairs.
Zitat von »Bernd Cogel« Könnte diese Nematocera eine Sciaridae sein? wing venation is correct for Sciaridae, so i agree with your determination. However, i cannot suggest a Gattung, i have zero species documented from this family. I do not have keys to the genera or species of this family. Tut mir leid. Best wishes, John
Mycetophilidae -> Unterfamilie Mycetophilinae The wing venation matches Mycetophilinae but i do not know the genus: Allodia, Allodiopsis, Anatella, Brachypeza, Brevicornu, Cordyla, Exechia, Exechiopsis, Myrosia, Notolopha, Pseudexechia, Pseudobrachypeza, Pseudorymosia, Rymosia, Stigmatomeria, Synplasta, Tarnania - list of genera courtesy of Frank Dickert (fdickert.de) edit: possibly Allodia species Best wishes, John
Zitat von »Mitterer Karl« I got this fly from Diptera.info entered. The genus Besseria is rather excluded there. Thank you for letting me know. However, i disagree with Leucostomatini in general. The chaetotaxy, dusting, coloring and other features do not fit most Leucostomatini sp. but we cannot see alot of features in this single photo. More importantly, if you posted at diptera.info, then ask Theo Zeegers for an opinion. Theo is a Tachinidae specialist. I am not a Tachinidae specialist. If T...
Hi Bernd, Pollenia vagabunda Männchen und Weibchen. Pollenia (Polleniidae) are my favorite flies They will come to your hand if your hand if you place it in front of them. Best wishes, John
Hi Bernd I agree with your determination and add Weibchen to the name Enjoy the weekend, John
Zitat von »Bernd Cogel« Hello John, thank you for your agreement. Now I'm totaly sure. I'm learning daily. Today I've a leisurely day, but tomorrow I'll start to build the "Amphibienzaun" for saving toads and frogs. Best regards Bernd You're very knowledgeable about nature and is it not true that all of us are learning something new everyday of our lives? I too am a perpetual student I wish you much luck with building your Amphibian garten. I always see toads and frogs at the local park but i u...
Zitat von »Michael Knapp« Fannia sp. Weibchen I agree and i would like to add a 'like' button to the forum. Then we do not have to post to simply agree
Zitat von »Simeon Indzhov« Verstehe. Dann sollten sie so sein - das Männchen ist sehr wahrscheinlich Bibio varipes, das Weibchen ist Bibio reticulatus - auf dem zweiten Blick habe ich erkannt, dass die Adern (unfokussiert) markant geschwärzt sind und die Beone sind auch nicht leuchtend rot-orange, wie beim typischen Weibchen von varipes. I agree with Simeon and his Bibio determinations are highly accurate (a second opinion is not necessary). I hope that you have a nice day Bernd John
Hi Karl, compare to Nephrotoma pratensis Weibchen. Best wishes, John
Hi Karl, Nephrotoma scalaris Weibchen is a better match. Tergite 1 of N. flavipalpis has a yellow spot, which is not present in your photo. Best wishes, John
Hi Konrad, The fly is not an Anthomyia or Anthomyiidae species. Please see Limnophora tigrina Männchen Best wishes, John
Zitat von »Konrad Seipelt« Die verkleinerte graue Zeichnung auf dem Thorax irritiert yes, it irritates me too we only have a dorsal view, which complicates the matter. However, if we imagine that it is in fact a Phaonia of the pallida group, then using dc 2+4: P. subventa: crossveins are infuscated and the thorax is dark. = eliminated. P. rufiventris: not known to have a partially yellow thorax. Usually only has one pair of presutural ac. if scutellum is darkened then it should be darkened at t...
Zitat von »Mitterer Karl« Hier ist ähnlich Thereva microcephala micro + cephala bedeutet kleiner Kopf auf Deutsch. Nein. female Thereva have one or two black spots on the forehead called a callus. The callus is very clear in your photo, so Pandivirilia is not an option. Also Pandivirilia have bar like spots on tergites five and six. I am not a Therevidae specialist, i cannot name a species. The tibiae appear to be black which is a problem. If we ignore the black tibiae then we can compare this ...
Hello friends I have to say that this photo is not very well focused and it is difficult to see bristles and hairs. However, in all of my years of studying Calliphoridae i have never seen a Calliphora without a hooked bend of the M vein that does not intersect or nearly intersect with the end of the R1 vein when drawing a line along the hook. In my opinion, it is a better match with Onesia than Calliphora and i believe that the right side of the thorax has 3 ia bristles. Again, the photo is not ...
Zitat von »Manfred Zapf« Die Zeichnung passt zwar zu Nephrotoma und sie hat kein Flügelmal, daher hätte ich als Laie am ehesten zu N. appendiculata tendiert. I agree with Nephrotoma appendiculata. The marks on the head, thorax, scutellum and abdomen are diagnostic according to Oesterbroek. Sometimes a lateral view is necessary but not in this case. Best wishes, John
Hi Michael, why not Helina evecta? Männchen. Best wishes, John
Hi Michael, the keys and description matches Mesembrina meridiana, so i agree with your determination. Best wishes, John
Hi Michael, Nephrotoma. I have keys from Oesterbroek (The western Palaearctic species of Nephrotoma) but i have not looked at the keys because i think that the shape and size of the dark spot on the head is characteristic of N. appendiculata. Best wishes, John
Hi Bernd, no there is no other form, i made an error in copying and pasting I meant to enter Bombylius canescens but i am very tired today and i had not noticed the error. Thank you for noticing! I have been programming php today in between my daily schedule and i'm growing quite tired by now. I keep a list of Bombyliidae in a notepad and i copied the wrong species. I will correct the post. Thanks again for noticing, John
Hi Karl, I have to study this one a bit more. I believe it is Anthomyiidae male but i cannot yet place it. I do not have enough experience with Anthomyiidae to place it in a genus. I'll keep looking at this post in spare time. I have to log off for now. Best wishes, John
Hi Karl, Anthomyiidae Weibchen. I think that Botanophila fugax is a good match. Best wishes, John
Zitat von »Michael Knapp« MInettia cf. fasciata I agree with Michael.
Hi Karl, Aplomya confinis seems to be correct. I have looked at it carefully and i see nothing to suggest otherwise. I will double check this id whenever i have free time. If i do not post a second opinion at a later date, then it will mean that i agree with Aplomya confinis. Best wishes, John
Hi Katja, I see no reason to disagree with Bombylius major. edit: I made an error as pointed out by Bernd Cogel. I meant to copy and paste Bombylius canescens Best wishes, John
Zitat von »Jürgen Peters« Muscidae-Männchen. Vielleicht Hebecnema oder Hydrotaea. I agree with Hebecnema sp. since the only competitor (Lophosceles cinereiventris) has different chaetotaxy.
Zitat von »Jürgen Peters« Lucilia caesar? correct You are getting very good at recognizing caesar. For the record, illustris has a vitta which separates the parafacialia. When the parafacialia are touching so that it appears as though there is no vitta between them and the male has 2 ac plus yellow palpi, then it is caesar and not illustris. Best wishes, John
Hi Karl, threadID=131651 gelbbraune Fliege? I'm still trying to find a genus for this fly. But i don't see a match with Gonia either.
Hi Karl, I am not a tachinidae specialist and i have not examined a large amount of genera. However, whenever i key this species using the keys from Tschorsnig, i arrive at Gonia picea Also, i wonder if the freshly emerged tachinid in your other thread is actually a Gonia but one with an orange abdomen. threadID=131651 Best wishes, John
Zitat von »Jürgen Peters« (z.B. mit dunkler Basicosta) Hi Jürgen, Lucilia silvarum Männchen and you did well to notice the dark basicosta but you also have the arista in focus enough to eliminate magnicornis. I'm still looking for a magnicornis first record. Best wishes, John
Hi Jürgen, for caesar, when the ac are not visible, the palpi are orange. Here the palpi are dark brown/black. Lucilia silvarum Männchen is the best match. Best wishes, John
Hi Jürgen, I agree with Lucilia caesar Weibchen. Some features are difficult to examine but the overall appearance eliminates ampullacea and illustris. Best wishes, John
Hi Jürgen, I agree with Lucilia sericata Weibchen. Very nice lateral photos Best wishes, John
Lucilia-Weibchen vom 08.10.24 Hi Jürgen, I agree with Lucilia caesar Weibchen Best wishes, John
Hi Jürgen, I agree with Lucilia caesar Männchen Best wishes, John
Hi Jürgen, I agree with Lucilia caesar Männchen Best wishes, John
Hi Konrad, I would search in Hepialoidea or Pyraloidea. Maybe you can find something similar. Raupen are sometimes very difficult to bring to a super family level. Best wishes, John
