Hi. I have doubts with this specimen, since it has no two breaks on the costa (or at least until I can see), cell Cup absent DmCu absent. Furthermore, arista presents on its upper side a small bristles, very fine and restricted to the basal.

It is Parydra (Ephydridae) - I think pubera, but will check when I get home.

P. pubera was rather common in Morocco, I collected it for Marina Krivosheina.

Tony and Nikita, Thanks so rapid identification of the specimen. I talked to Tadeusz Zatwarnicki, and he also agrees that the specimen belongs to Parydra (Paranapaea) pubera Loew, 1860. Thanks to all!!!
