Achalcus cinereus is better.

First suggestion was 'good', second suggestion was 'better', the final result is best''. After examination of the genitalia: A. thalhammeri (new for the Dutch list).

That's interesting news Paul! Nice. Thanks! I submitted a photo of this fly to the gallery as Achalcus cinereus (latest photo addition). It must be changed now to A. thalhammeri Gr Dick |

Okay. If you then correct female to male on Waarneming.nl we are all up to speed.

Check the key to Achalcus in Pollet (1996): this is certainly not A. cinereus, but might, indeed, be A. thalhammeri due to its unicolorous thorax. However, you can only achieve 100% certainty by collecting the specimen and compare it to reference collection material. |

Marc, the only way I could identify it a thalhammeri was because I had the actual specimen.

Dear Paul, Great to hear this. Is this observation to be found in waarneming.nl? Then I could include it, together with the collectors and identifiers, in an upcoming paper on new doli species for the Netherlands? Any chance you might get a male as well, you reckon? Cheers, Marc |

Hi Marc, At the moment I am writing a small article about this new (male) doli species. I found it in my garden last year. https://waarneming.nl/waarneming/view/202787279 Gr Dick |
