Hi, on May 30th, I found this fly in the foothills north of Vienna, Austria. Can you please help me identify it? Thank you and best regards, Konrad konradZ attached the following image:  [114.77Kb] Edited by konradZ on 01-02-2017 14:36 |

Thank you, Roger, and greetings to the Shetland Isles (I only know them through the mysteries of Ann Cleeves), Konrad |

Correct. However, formosa is not a valid name anymore. I am preparing a revision during the last 20 years, hopefully, it should be finished sooner or later. Val |

Thank you, Valery, you see me waiting patiently until the time a new name replaces "formosa"...  Best regards, Konrad |
