Berlin - mid September - found at a window 4mm (6mm including wings) I have trouble with these small yellow/orange flies because similar flies can be found in multiple families. I think that this fly is a Lauxaniidae but I cannot place it in a genus. I'll be happy with a genus but I can add more photos if someone can help me reach a species level too. I do not know if it is a male or a female. The terminalia looks odd to me. Thank You for your Time and Effort. johnes81 attached the following image:  [171.09Kb] Edited by johnes81 on 19-09-2017 22:24 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

scutellum - notice the odd division in the middle of the scutellum.

could this be Scaptomyza flava (Drosophilidae)?

interesting. I thought about Meiosimyza rorida before but the genitalia doesn't look exactly like the drawing in Shatalkin's book. I suppose that maybe I do not have the genitalia in the correct position according to the drawing. However, the keys lead to M. rorida. I just realized that I've already made a thread for this: https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=81392 I am very sorry for posting a new thread. I have been very busy lately and I simply forgot that I had posted. I wasn't aware that the valid name of the genus is Meiosimyza. Thank You x decillion, Sir Sven. I'm off to read Shatalkin...

I found a resource with microscopic photos of M. rorida including genitalia and it is a match. Shatalkin's keys also agree. I am very happy. Thank You Sven.
