fg-taxon #22 (Genea & Leskia sp.)

This is a complex of basically orange-coloured tachinids with more or less darkened tips to the abdomen – either dark patches around the bristle sockets or completely dark tergite 4-5.

This is taxon 22a – female (Genea sp.):

fg-taxon-22-specimen-16-03fg-taxon-22-specimen-16-06fg-taxon-22-specimen-16-09

This is 22a – male:

The next one (taxon 22d specimen #73 – Leskia sp.) is much smaller but follows the same general colour scheme and morphology:

fg-taxon-22-specimen-73-02fg-taxon-22-specimen-73-05fg-taxon-22-specimen-73-07

This is an extra taxon (22b – specimen #45 – Genea sp.), which seems to be significantly different … but similar:

fg-taxon-22-specimen-45-01fg-taxon-22-specimen-45-06fg-taxon-22-specimen-45-09

EDIT (Monty Wood 26/9/2010): This group is a mixture of 2 genera – Genea and Leskia.
