Extract

Distinguished from the common ‘cluster fly’, Pollenia rudis (Fab.) as follows: Mesonotum with a median stripe anterior to transverse suture (readily seen with naked eye in oblique posterior view). Basicosta black (in rudis it is reddish-brown in female but inclined to be darker in male especially towards the base). Tessellation of abdomen less broken, the contrasting pollinose areas larger and more regular (rectangular) in outline. Abdominal pollen cinereous with bluish reflection (dull yellowish in rudis). Male genitalia (Figs. 1-3) with forceps and aedeagus longer and more slender.
