Dear you all, I just discovered this quite interresting paper "Review of the scolopaceus-group of Rhagio Fabricius 1775 with the description of a new species from the Iberian Peninsula (Diptera: Rhagionidae)" So I took interrest to look at my specimens previously identified as R scolopaceus. I have specimens from northern France with typical R scolopaceus'antennas, and I have specimens from Bretagne and central France with antennas like the picture following. This is a male, last antennal segment is quite short, like R atlanticus, but arista is strongly concave, like R scolopaceus. What to you think? First sternite is strongly hairy. Many thanks, Clovis  clovis : France : Saint-Mars-d'Outillé : 72220 : 09/06/2022 Altitude : 183 m - Taille : 10 mm Réf. : 309574  clovis : France : Saint-Mars-d'Outillé : 72220 : 09/06/2017 Altitude : 183 m - Taille : 10 mm Réf. : 309577 Edited by clovis on 30-08-2022 21:56 |

Yes, nice article, isn’t it ? In atlanticus male, eyes are dichoptic. Maybe the antenna is simewhat variable, but this looks good for scolopaceus to me. Theo |
