From my garden. Only 2mm long. 2 individuals caught together. A family would be nice, a genus even better  Peter peterbolson attached the following image:  [55.64Kb] |

Chloropidae best that I can do, expect someone else should be able to get you to genus. |

This is either Chlorops or Thaumatomyia. I'd vote for Chlorops, because: Thaumatomyia: scutellum flat and gena about half as wide as the third antennal segment is deep (lateral shots of the head are important to show the narrow gena); Chlorops: scutellum rounded with no rim, gena wider related to width of third antennal segment, body usually less shiny and more dusted. (Cp. discussion in http://www.dipter...ropid.html.) I add a picture for comparison. Regards, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [94.77Kb] Edited by Sundew on 18-07-2010 20:33 |

The small size, form of the black frontal triangle and shining mesonotal stripes suggest Chlorops hypostigma. |

Thanks very much Mark, Sundew & KWQ. That's much more than I had hoped for Peter Edited by peterbolson on 19-07-2010 17:36 |
