Thank you very much. Is there a way to distinguish Sciapus versus Xanthochlorus in the field? Regards, Ingo My diptera videos: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User %3APristurus/gallery/Diptera |

Sciapus has vein M forked. Some species have prominent spines under the fore femora. The vertex is excavated, usually conspicuously. Sciapodinae and Diaphorinae usually perch with wings spread. Other subfamilies usually perch with wings overlapping. |
