these ones seem to dislike flash light - several sitting on a tree trunk, they all flew away after this one photo.

How far is an ID possible? Trichomyia maybe?

Vienna, Wienerwald, mid June

Trichomyia urbica. Nice species.
Sorry, overthere it could be more species. Trichomyia spec.

Thanks weia - according to Fauna Europaea it comes down to two species:
T. urbica or parvula.

However, there is no T. hardeggensis and T. stephani on that list, the former a species found directly at the border to Austria, and whose habitat description would fit for the specimen I saw.

Would be great if I could find the specimens again, because not a single species from the genus has been reported from Austria yet, as far as I am aware.
Cheers, Lorin

Faune Europea hasn't been updated for a very long time and they do not react on mail...

little fun fact to add: although not yet reported from the country, the recently described species T. hardeggensis is named after an Austrian city

additional fun fact: with 86 inhabitants, Hardegg is the smallest city in Austria

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
