Dinera carinifrons is a species of fly in the family Tachinidae. It is found in Europe and Asia.[4][5][6][7]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]This species has a transpalaearctic distribution and it is present in most of Europe (northwards to Scotland) and in Asia (Mongolia).[8] It especially occurs in high altitudes of the Alps.[9]
Description
[edit]Dinera carinifrons can reach a body length of about 6.5–10.8 mm (0.26–0.43 in). In these rather large flies, the thorax, abdomen, and legs are black with a dense microtrichosity and relatively broader frons and parafacial. Abdomen shows a light tessellate appearance, with syntergite 1+2 excavated, 3+3 dorsocentral setae present and undeveloped costal seta. This species is very similar to Dinera fuscata.[9][10]
