Hi everyone,

This drosophilidae was found in a composter (north of France) :

www.galerie-insecte.org/galerie/image/dos343/big/P1420583%20873%2025%20mm%20corps%2028%20mai%20lauxaniinae%20sapromyzospma.jpg

Altitude : 36 m - Taille : 2,5 mm
Réf. : 343561

Unable to discriminate the head micro-setae with my gear, the question is : does S.flava is the only one to present such a truncate oviscapt ?

I would rather consider Lordiphosa andalusiaca, Is it possible to get less granulated picture?

Here it is, without any accentuation :

S, flava has indeed truncate oviscapt. In this specimen it is more oblong, although it is not well discernible in the picture. Also, mesonotum is more glossy, etc. I stay at L. andalusiaca.

I agree completely with Jan. Tip of ovipositor is rounded in lateral view, not truncate. The darkish smudges on the pleura also indicate Lordiphosa.

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
