Hello, I saw these two flies a few weeks ago near Heerlen. The first one tried to look like Xyphosia miliaria, there were many of them on Anthriscus sylvestris. The second one reminds a bit of Otites guttata, but it was smaller and with other wingmarkings. Ben Ben Hamers attached the following image:  [81.01Kb] Edited by Ben Hamers on 22-05-2012 00:00 |

The top one is Minettia inusta, one of the few Lauxaniidae with such an extensive and distinct wing patterns in North-Western Europe. The bottom one is Pherbellia cinerella. Last weekend I saw hundreds of this member of the Sciomyzidae near Haarlem (Kennemerduinen) where I swept the from low herbal vegetation. Tho colour pattern on the frons withe the somewhat darkened wings make it easy to recognise. Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |

Thanks a lot, Paul. I always forget to think of Sciomyzidae, when such smal flies are involved. Ben |
