Hello, I photographed these flies in the Torre del Cerrano Marine Protected Area (TE), Italy on March 28th 2021. I think they are Ephydridae, but is it possible to identify their genus or species from these photos? Thank you in advance, Emanuele ESant attached the following image:  [282.7Kb] Edited by ESant on 14-04-2021 20:09 |

Compare Hecamede and Diclasiopa. |

Thank you John! What are the differences between these two genera? |
