Thanks a lot, Jürgen! The Sciaridae I used to know before were significantly smaller and had a more bell-shaped m-vein, and wings uniformly black... But fine... every day some new learning... :-) Regards, Markus |

I am not certain, but this venation looks more like Keroplatidae to me.

Thanks all! At least from pictures I found on the Web, Greenomyia mongolica fits perfectly well, including wing vein pattern, color of legs, tibial spurs... Stating Greenomyia cf. mongolica should then be ok, right? Regards, Markus |

Yup. A publication with a key should be available online...
