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.
