Sochi region, 21 okt, 4mm. Looks like or near Trigonometopus, but in my key only one species and it looks different. I have no more idea. Tomorrow I'll make better image if no ID. Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [65.94Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

I've got reply from Ozerov: Odinidae, may be Traginops. May be, there are still questions: 1. poc crossed (it is why I didn't regard Odinidae as possible answer). 2. There is one species of Traginops in Russia Far East, this one looks different. Any idae?

Via Andrey Ozerov I've got reply from Anatoly Shatalkin. It is Lauxaniidae (crossed pvt!). Genus Sciasminettia, two species known from Far East and (?) 1 species freshly discribed by Papp from south Europe. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

That is why it took so long for us to find it.

Congratulations! (again!!) Glancing at the thumbnails of the images, it occurred to me that the fly looks as though it's been attacked by a fungus. I wonder if it also appears this way to potential predators, who might leave it alone? ... Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |

Thank you Tony and Jan. 1. Tony, I don't think that predators have such an artistic imagination, as you have 2. Honestly I haven't seen jornal myself yet. It is in: http://herba.msu.ru/journals/bmsn/ My short report about biology of this fly is: http://dipteradatabase.info/?article=100 Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
