Another of the Dipteran species that I photographed in Bulgaria when leading a Botanical tour recently was this Stratiomyid, found in the Trigrad Gorge on 28 June 2013. I think this is a Stratiomys species but it looks very different to S. potamida which I have seen in the UK. It looks far too hairy for that and this feature together with the rather pale abdominal markings makes me wonder if it might be S.singularior. I would though welcome any suggestions from those more experienced and knowledgeable than I am. Many thanks Alan Alan Outen attached the following image:  [139.64Kb] Edited by Alan Outen on 21-07-2013 11:30 |

Not possible to say which species. Did you collect the specimen?

Many thanks Ruud. Yes I have the specimen. I would be more than happy to send it to you if you would be interested. This is a genus we do not get in Britain I think. Thank you again Alan |

Yes, I am interested. Please, send me some and I will let you know which species. I have a collection of European species, but some are still missing. Indeed, as far as I know the genus does not occur in the UK, nor in the Netherlands. In Hungary, for example, it is pretty common. ruud van der weele rvanderweele@gmail.com |
