This litte fly landed on my knee last week in june this year. The place is a garden with surrounding pasture and fields, about 50 miles east of Stockholm in Sweden. I have no idea where to start with this species. Any help is welcome!

A similar fly in the gallery is identified as Peplomyza litura. http://www.dipter...to_id=4893 |

Interesting! There are very few reports of this species in Sweden. Is Peplomyza litura hard to confuse with another kind of Peplomyza? |

Peplomyza intermedia has black spotys along the oral margin (absent here) and P. discoidea does not have a black spot between the antennae (present here), so, yes, this is P. litura.
