Hi,
I am pretty sure this is a Rainieria, but a species ID would be nice :-) Found in Wienerwald (Lower Austria)

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.

The femora have definitely a pale base. That would make it a new species for Austria! Smile

Good find Lorin.
I'm unable to find published lists from Austria so there are good opportunities to add to the Micropezidae list here http://micropezid...o/node/321
