I have not found any (dichotomous) keys for the Platypalpus genus (Hybotidae). Does anyone have some info to identify these little flies? Some info would at least help to try and crop to right characteristics, before losing the original pictures. Edited by smol on 16-10-2024 10:53 |

I was eventually able to find a key to the Czechoslovak species (https://www.aemnp..._0_331.pdf). The important characteristics are clearly explained here. The individual (newer) group species are not mentioned here, and I did not check for missing species, but it gives a good beginner direction. As a first try, I identified the above species as Platypalpus longicornis. Very uncertain, of course. I also used the following site for references of Platypalpus: https://www.spess...alpus.html Edited by smol on 14-10-2024 09:33 |

Hi If a key for species from Fennoscandia and Denmark will do then you can use this key https://dokumen.pub/the-tachydromiinae-dipt-empididae-of-fennoscandia-and-denmark-1-1-1nbsped-8787491044.html Jógvan F |

What a mess, let me create a separate topic to actually request an ID of the fly. Thank you for letting me know! |
