Spotted several kleptoparasitic flies on Rhaphigaster in a spider web. Struggling to narrow it down to genus, could it be Phyllomyza or Neophyllomyza? The palps are not exceptionally enlarged. Lower Austria, early March

I was considering Desmometopa without the usual contrasting area on the frons, but I can't place it in Sabrosky's key. http://milichiida...y_1983.pdf |
