Hello!

Could this be a female Coenosia humilis? It was big, around 8mm. Near Lincoln UK on 11th April 2011

They certainly resemble my 2 specimens, but 8mm seems
way too big.

Coenosia have 1+3 dc ; here 2+3. I think it's Macrorchis meditata ! Nikita can tell if I'm wrong or not.

I also thought the size was too big for Coenosia humilis.

Thank you Stephane, I'll change the title! That would be a nice one! Nikita has one in the gallery but it doesn't show the thorax. I'm trying to work out which are the 2+3 but I'll take your word for it. Wink

As usually I have nothing to add to Stephane's identification.
P.S. Macrorchis meditata is a big species, but of course, not as big as 8mm.

Thanks for the confirmation Nikita, maybe it was 7mm but I couldn't quite see behind the wings. Or, it's been very well fed. Grin

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
