The fork is the V-configuration of veins in your first photo: look to see if there are hairs near this on the long vein... |

Well, I only see those small microtrichia (?) which are present on the whole wing...

They would be long bristles if present - which seems not to be the case. |

So, not autumnalis and not in the key of Disney... Interesting! Thank You for Your contribution! |

You need to use Die Fliegen. Disney's book is only for England. Brian Brown Entomology NH Museum of Los Angeles Co. |

The first couplet in Die Fliegen is "scutellum with 4 large, subequal bristles" vs "anterior scutellar bristles much smaller than posterior" [actually, the literal translation is "scutellum four-bristled" versus "scutellum two-bristled", but you get the idea]. There are 49 species in Die Fliegen, and a few more have been described since. Brian Brian Brown Entomology NH Museum of Los Angeles Co. |

Thank You Brian, I think I'll keep on catching them, making preparations, and ask for genus ID here, and later I will get in contact maybe with a local specialist, or get a copy of the Fliegen. There's a young entomologist in Hungary, who eorks with Papp, and he studies Phoridae, but I haven't got in contact with him yet. Walter |

Hi, I found this preparated fly from 2009 and made new photos of it with a better microscope. These are the mouthparts: pwalter attached the following image:  [45.11Kb] Edited by pwalter on 11-01-2011 11:20 Walter Pfliegler - Amateur Nature Photographer from Hungary (and molecular biologist) |
