Hi Nikita, Unfortunately this is not one of your best pictures, but I would say it is not a sphaerocerid. It looks like this fly has markings on the wings, is that correct? Jan Willem |

The fact that the orbital plates are removed from the eye margins should be a pointer. Unfortunately, as my bed calls, I have no time to sort it out now.

P. punctipennis seems to be the commonest synantropic species in the region. Description of the wing of a closely related P. affinis: light brown, darkened around h, base of 2nd costal sector, fork of R2+3 and R4+5 and apex of R2+3. Arista (in the same P. affinis) about 4 times as long as 3rd antennal segment, with short cilia.
