This 2 mm fly was close to river bank. Is it Ephydridae or something else? Photos from 13 april 2013 Styresholm 62 N, E 17 Ã…ngermanland, Sweden. Thanks for your help in advance Regards Kurt Holmqvist kurt attached the following image: [100.56Kb] |

If what I can see here is correct - 3 dc long and all ac setae short, ocellar triangle matt - then it may be Ephydridae - Lamproscatella. Sure definition is possible on male terminalia, however this one resembles Lamproscatella bimaculata. |

A late thanks for your help Cranefly It seems that we have this 3 in Sweden. Does this help to identify species? Lamproscatella brunnipennis Lamproscatella pilosigenes Lamproscatella sibilans Kurt Holmqvist Edited by kurt on 19-04-2013 19:41 |

L.pilosigenis=L.sibilans (according to World Catalogue of Ephydridae). So you have 2 species among which to choose. L. brunnipennis sometimes has grey face (not golden) and brownish wings, L. sibilans has golden face. So it may be brunnipennis. But perfect definition is better with the structure of male terminalia |
