South of Japan between 32N and 40N. Any idea? Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [95.17Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

If there is a complete transverse suture on the scutum it must be a weakly bristled Scathophagidae. |

Scathophagidae expert Andrey Ozerov supposed that it may be some Psilidae. Actually photos are taken from recent publication: Saigusa, T. (2024) A remarkable new genus of Sciomyzoidea from Japan, with discussion of its taxonomic position (Diptera, Acalyptratae). Zootaxa 5519 (4): 549-560, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5519.4.4, Dr. Saigusa described this fly as Babakintaromyia albitarsis, Sciomyzidae, Salticellinae I doubt much that it is Sciomyzidae. I placed images in hope that somebody recognizes the family. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
