The Oosterbroek key leads me to Heleomyzidae (step 91) but somehow this doesn't feel right. I have a male and female, that last one with a long ovipositor. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot! Pieter

Not Heleomyzidae. Look, please, for the tibial chaetotaxy (no preapical setae present) and ovipositor (needle-like structure). Maybe Ulididae or any other Tephritoid-like fly...

A Tetanops sp. (Ulidiidae Otitinae), quite typical for sandy dunes. Are you going to sequence it or can you sacrifice it to me for a taxonomic revision? Val |

Dear Andrzej, Dear Valery, thank you for your comments! I just started picking up flies again after a few years hiatus and I clearly have to get used to some obvious steps in the key again... @Valery: I will mail you about it somewhere early next week. |
