Hello forum, this fly a found on April 22nd 2008 in Hagen (D, NRW). The site is about 175 m above sea level and is characterized by an artificial alder marshland. I think, it should be Limnophila punctata. Right? Wrong? Please help! Best wishes, Josef Josef Buecker attached the following image:  [83.53Kb] |

Your photo looks very like my specimen of Limnophila punctata  . However, the UK key by Alan Stubbs includes a non-UK species, Limnophila arnoudi, that is apparently very similar  , distinguished on features at the tip of the abdomen and in the genitalia. Fauna Europaea lists L. arnoudi as present in Germany.Martin Martin Harvey |
