Looks it has complete mesonotal suture. Americina media (Scathophagidae)?

This looks like Strongylophthalmyia ustulata (Strongylophthalmyiidae)
Best wishes, Niels-Jan Dek

Yes, the fourth possibility (S. ustulata) seems me now the most probable. S. u. has mesonotal suture incomplete but laterally deep; the pictures can be interpreted accordingly.

Very nice. Is Strongylophthalmyia recorded already for Spain?
Best wishes, Niels-Jan Dek

Looks good to me too, a nice find. Some more details at https://micropezi...my/term/55 and Krivosheina's 1982 key is at https://micropezi...fo/node/85

I'm intrigued by the knowledge that it is already known from Spain, research has the Spanish checklist for the group at https://micropezi.../322#Spain and it's not on the Spanish photo site (Invertebrados InsectariumVirtual at https://www.biodi...26409.html)
I'd be very grateful for that 1992 reference to help put the record straight.

They don't turn up very often in Europe, the last one was at https://www.inatu.../131629646 that one will finish up on GBIF so if you could see your way to also adding your photos to iNaturalist that would be a great help because it's a geographical outlier.

Darwyn,
I'm intrigued by the knowledge that it is already known from Spain
I found: http://sea-entomo...29-169.pdf so probably it is from Andorra only, not sure if it is cited in Spain.
and it's not on the Spanish photo site (Invertebrados InsectariumVirtual at https://www.biodi...26409.html)
My photos are in process to be elevated to the definitive file. Now you can find the here: https://www.biodi...09661.html
adding your photos to iNaturalist
Please feel free to copy the photos and you can add them for me if you wish. The locality is near Llessui (https://www.googl...d1.0740195

This is the place, a shadow stream with a torrent river, wich i have visit four, five times during last two years because it is very hot nowdays and i prefer to go to coldest places. At a very few small distance I have found very interesting flies, for example, apart from this one:

Possible Xanthochlorus, could be new subfamily Xanthochlorinae for Spain (https://diptera.i..._id=107458
Possible new species for Spain: Xylota jakutorum, with reserves (https://diptera.i..._id=107394)
Medina collaris, a rare tachinid in Spain with no photos (https://diptera.i..._id=107350)
Sciara hemerobioides, rare at least for me (https://diptera.i..._id=102785, and others sciaridae not posted...
Palloptera ambusta, both years, I would say it is a new fly for Spain (https://diptera.i..._id=102765)
Ocydromia cf glabricula, a rare species in Spain (https://diptera.i..._id=102767)
Tanypeza longimana, vey rare species in Spain (https://diptera.i..._id=102685)
Also Hybotidae... (https://diptera.i..._id=102687), rare for me...
Hybos femoratus, first time for me, rare (https://diptera.i..._id=102495
Blepharicera fasciata, rare, https://www.biodi...09681.html
Paraclusia tigrina, in the same river, 10 minutes from this place, very rare in Spain, first photos (https://diptera.i..._id=107332

etc... so you know, go down to the stream!

Note: canyoning in this river has incremented a lot, for me it is a problem because other rivers are out "of order" because are dry and this one is "on fashion".

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
