Can anyone assist me with this fly.
Photographed in my garden in south east England during October 05. I haven't seen one before or since.

Many thanks
Gordon

I think it is one of the Heleomyzidae.

I see the humeral (postpronotal) seta is missing. The wing does not appear to maculate. Can you narrow down to species or species group on the basis of the leg colour (pale, last two tarsal segments blackish)?

Maybe it is S. bicolor, but I am not sure, the first flagellomere is less than ?pubescent, costal spines very short, nothing about scutellum (should be covered by pale hairs ... The plaural and maesonotal colouration in this species is more than variable.

Many thanks. It is a new family for me.

I think I understand most of the comments except ' maesonotal colouration'. I can't find reference to this. So excuse my ignorance but could you explain what this is ?

Thankyou

Gordon

Spelling should be 'pleural and mesonotal', meaning the lateral and dorsal parts of the thorax before the scutellum.

Rigth !,
Paul corrected it profesionally !
mesonotum and pleura is correct !. As regard first flagellomere I mean the arista !!! Sorry, it's my fault !. Smile
