The wing is like Seioptera vibrans (Ulidiidae) but that species has a paler head. |

Indeed, Ulidia apicalis Meigen, the species with spotted wing, wide, shining black and pitted frons, and yellow halteres.Common in the W Mediterranean region. Seioptera vibrans always have the frons red. Edited by Nosferatumyia on 27-11-2015 15:15 Val |
