Reminds me of Tethinidae or something similar.

Wow, one of the earlier mysteries solved. We had some discussion about this fly earlier. This fly was also observed on the shore in Japan! Furthermore there is only one species of Hecamede described in Japan. So my image is likely to show: Hecamede albicans (Meigen, 1830)! Xespok Edited by Xespok on 17-03-2006 09:41 |

Hi Xespok Checking up on Hecamede distribution, it seems that the only species in Japan is H. granifera, not H. albicans, so your mystery is re-solved!

Hecamede granifera and H. albicans are often listed as synonyms in the form : H.granifera (= H.albicans of authors) meaning that H. granifera has been misidentified as H. albicans by various authors, e.g. both in Hawaii and Japan. However the species are quite distinct. Wayne Mathis revised the genus in 1993 and figured the genitalia. There are other chaetotaxy characters which can be used to separate the species.
