Dear forum, This fly of which I took a picture this afternoon in my glasshouse resembles somewhat the fly which was id'd this morning as a Lonchoptera. But it is twice as big (approx 5 mm). Is it a Lonchoptera as well? Best regards, Niek Niek van Wijk attached the following image:  [110.81Kb] Edited by Niek van Wijk on 11-04-2008 17:00 |

Dear Andrzej, Thank you for your reaction. I'm really getting confused: This morning I posted a thread as "Heleomyzidae?" which was in fact Lonchopteridae, and now exactly vice-versa! Best regards, Niek |

So, it's time to show her name: Oecothea fenestralis (Fll.)  Andrzej |

Hello, Niek van Wijk wrote: I'm really getting confused: This morning I posted a thread as "Heleomyzidae?" which was in fact Lonchopteridae, and now exactly vice-versa! For the Lonchopteridae, look at the very strong bristles on the head. This is a good criterion. Pierre Duhem |
