I caught some of these yesterday, and managed to photograph them today, just, the new ring-flash highly over-exposed everything, or the camera did with the flash. Quite a bit smaller than C. furcata but also with spines along the wing like a small Heleomyzid or a largish Trixoscelidid

I am sorry the photos are not so good - the new flash also seems to have had an effect on the autofocus

Out of curiosity: what is the best literature to id this family? I have tried with Bei-Bienko, but (once again) it does not seem to have all the species on the finnish check-list. |

I'm using original papers of Czerny: 1927: 53a. Helomyzidae, 53b. Trichoscelidae und 53c. Chiromyidae, in: Die Fliegen der palaearktischen Region unter Mitwirkung zahlreicher Fachgelehrter hrsg. v. Erwin Lindner, Stuttgart and his monography from 1924: Monographie der Helomyziden. Abhandlung der Zoologischen-Botanischen Gesellschaft in Wien, 15(1): 1–166. (but it is originally in German !). A key to UK Heleomyzidae was made by Collin J.E. in 1943: The British species of Helomyzidae. Ent. Monthly Mag. 79: 234-251

Neolaria flavicornis is the only member of that genus on my list so fsr - lets hope it is something different. Andrzej - does the above mean you have an interest in Chironomids?????? Get you Diptera Calandar at http://www.cafepress.com/TTMshop Gordon Edited by Gordon on 02-12-2009 12:45 |

Hi Andrzej - There is no Neoleria ruficornis in Fauna Europeae - only N. ruficauda, N. ruficeps or N. fuscicornis or other names even less similar. Could you tell me the authority please. Also F.E. has a Morpholeria ruficornis (Meigen, 1830) - perhaps this is it. And Andrzej - you are the taxonomic specialist named for this group in F.E.
