I understand it's either male or female. we have a lot of such flies and when mating this species, you can notice that the individuals are very different, at least the fly of the other sex is almost all black, is this true or am I confusing something??

Frankly, I don't even know. I'm not really with the Bibionids. In principle, different colors of males and females are quite possible. It is a pity that there are not enough specialists on diptera here. I would love to hear the expert's comment on this issue myself.

good afternoon, in this topic for the first time, tell me, maybe up to a species of diptera, for example from serfids, tabanids, ktyrei....

Well, Chrysotoxum festivum is probably hard to confuse. As far as I'm concerned, it's really her. The remaining copies of the photo program are absolutely hopeless for me. Fortunately, there is a real professional on the forum for sirfids - Pirx. If possible, it will determine.

Well, you defined the genus in principle correctly. True, they probably used some old sources. I only saw the name Tubifera in the literature of the 50s. From the 60s to the present day, this genus is called Helophilus. By the way, in the determinant of 1928, it is also called Helophilus. You probably made a mistake with the definition before the view. Trivittatus has a shiny yellow stripe in the middle of the face. In the photo, there is a black color in the middle part of the face. I would call this sirfid Helophilus pendulus L.

Photo 18 fly from the family of lionesses. Presumably the genus Microchrysa
photo 21 is some kind of tachina.
I have dealt only with the Taheen of the north and central part of Russia, and I cannot express any thoughts on their ancestral affiliation. Your photos of flies and bees are very interesting, but I can't identify them. It's a pity...

Primorye region

Maybe this (judging by the proboscis) is some kind of representative of the Muscidae family? The Far Eastern equivalent of our Stomoxys ?
It is a pity that there is no Muscidae family in the volumes of the DV insect determinant available to me.
Or are there bloodsuckers from other families in the Far East?

I only have the Czech identification atlas from 1967. I use it. But not everything I photographed is there. For example, serfidki 3____005913 - no, and much more. Therefore, I put it here, in the hope that

For example, serfidki 3____005913 - no, and much more. That's why I put it here, in the hope that they will help

Maybe Meliscaeva cinctella? But in general, I make this assumption without any pleasure - I really do not like to define such a group based on external similarity.

Maybe these can be identified?

good day, in this topic for the first time, tell me, maybe up to a species of diptera, for example from serfid, tabanid, ktyrei....
here is for example a few sirfid..
1. Didea antermedia female
2. Syrphus pilisquamis female
3. Chrysotoxum festivum female
4. here it is more difficult to come out as a male Syrphus nigritarsis
5. S. guttatus?male, also not sure


1. Yes, it looks like intermedia.
2. Syrphus sp.
3. Chr. festivum, kaneshna .
4. Not, all the same species of Syrphus spp.
5. Well, from this photo I can only say that this is definitely the genus Melangyna or Meligramma. Until recently, these were subgenera of the same genus, Melangyna. And even earlier, they were included to the heap in the combined genus Syrphus... Like Meligramma guttata .

By the way, serphids are a family of parasitic eardrums

If you have fees from Siberia, it is better for you to determine them from an excellent book:

Mutin V. A., Barkalov A.V. 31. Diptera. 62. Family Syrphidae-babblers // Determinant of insects of the Russian Far East (under general ed. Lera P. A.). Vol. VI (Diptera and Siphonaptera), issue 1. - Vladivostok: Dalnauka, 1999. - pp. 342-500.

Maybe these can be identified?

I would define the first photo as Platyceirus. Or is it Melanostoma?
the second photo of Syritta pipiens
the third photo seems to be the same fly that I (most likely incorrectly) identified as Meliscaeva cinctella?

There are 9 photos left with capes. Help

The first one, I think, is a female Meliscaeva cinctella. On the second, of course, H. pendulus, Alexey is right.

Maybe these can be identified?

1. Alexey, after all, I think it's Melanostoma scalare, a girl. But I understand what you mean - her face is completely platychairous . Otherwise, I completely agree with you .

I found another unidentified murmur. Maybe it will work?

It is a male of the genus Sphaerophoria. Recently, it was already said that the genus is genital and it is impossible to determine the type from the photo.

This fly is somewhat unusual in appearance, taken on a September morning. Unfortunately, I was only able to take one picture.

99,9% - Sph. scripta . In this specimen, the abdomen is much longer than the folded wings. In my opinion, in the Palearctic so far, this is only known for scripta.

Gadfly, but here's what it is... I wish I knew them at all. Yes, and they are rare, except that on the feeders . Last time regular gadfly encounters (which is a gadfly-hook) I celebrated as a snotty child on my grandfather's mare Mashka, in Northern Kazakhstan. While you sneak up with a net with a two-meter stick, nothing else, the mare is calm, but she interprets sharp jumps with a rush and a wave of something white exclusively as an attempt at murder.

I also came to the conclusion from the muzzle of the face that it was a gadfly. I was hoping to find out which one, but, in principle, for the first time there will be enough semystva

It's not just tahini, is it? There are also sarcophaguses.

No surprise - the family itself was defined by

Here are my flies. All shot in the Volgograd region.
1. 11.07.08
2. 14.07.08
3. 16.07.08
4. 13.08.08 A fairly large fly >2 cm in length.
5. 13.08.08 It seems to be also a fly...
6. 11.09.08
7. 05.07.08 - on a tinder mushroom, but I also met them on trees in places where sap is released.

photo 1-takhina. Not a very good angle, but still looks like Eriothrix rufomaculatus (I think I wrote the name correctly, but it's better to check - I often confuse the letters Y and I in Latin names )
2-it looks like some kind of
Bombyliidae 3-tachina is very difficult to determine - I really want a top
view 4-babbler, like Volucella zonaria
5-lion Stratiomyia species S. chamaeleon??
6-Lucilia
P7051756 - I have a very similar fly in my collections. I identified it as Otites rivularis (Fabricius 1805) from the family Ulidiidae.

probably at the expense of parasitic EMAILS there was a typo??
larvae of some sirphids were observed in the galls of perfig aphids on poplars.they were eating aphids there
I also have a book called Sirfids of Western Siberia...just put here the views in which there are big doubts..Well, I'll look for this source, it would be great to find scans of this book on the Internet.
I've got a lot of flies here.and there are some interesting species in Siberia, maybe I have something to find a thread

On pemphiges, specifically on poplars, you found larvae of babblers-predators from the subfamily Pipizinae (or tribes, as most people believe). They do eat aphids there. Only three genera are found there: Pipiza, Heringia and, if memory serves, Neocnemodon. Basically, the last two genera were recently merged, so it doesn't matter . You probably have N. A. Violovich's book "Sirfids of Siberia", 1983. The book is key, but with many inaccuracies and is very outdated. Scans of Mutin and Barkalov 1999 are not available online. There are interesting births in Siberia, or rather they were. I am referring to the genus Pleskeola, which was thought to be the only Siberian endemic, but has now been reduced to Parhelophilus. But it is rare, like olgoi-horkhoi .

2 - Maybe Villa? (Bombylidae)
5 - some Stratiomys, probably (Stratiomyidae)

Is my fly undetectable?

I don't even know my family.".. Usually, I can only identify flies from photos if there is something familiar in the collection. And if not-immediately misunderstandings.
