Dinera carinifrons
species of insect
Dinera carinifrons is a species of fly in the family Tachinidae. It is found in Europe and Asia.
Distribution and habitat
This species has a transpalaearctic distribution and it is present in most of Europe (northwards to Scotland) and in Asia (Mongolia). It especially occurs in high altitudes of the Alps.
Description
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.

Why this record matters
“Dinera carinifrons” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Dinera, carinifrons and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q14376014. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
