I cannot find a clue as to the affiliation of this fly to a family. Arista with many short hairs (so, no Drosophila-family member), and it has vibrissae (so, no lauxaniidae). Four rows of acrostichals. So, which family and genus this fly may belong to? I found it on UV illuminated sheet at night in the Netherlands, RE Niks attached the following image:  [185.19Kb] |

My general impression is Anthomyzidae.
Best wishes, Niels-Jan Dek |

Thanks, Niels-Jan! I think it is a Stiphrosoma or related species: I saw the posteroventral ctenidial spine on fore femur, as depicted in https://www.eje.cz/pdfs/eje/1996/01/11.pdf. |
