 Hi,
I really do not know where to put this dark fly from today. It has stout hind femora and a spur on the hind tibiae. I am looking forward to a name!
Thanks, Sundew

 A short and precise reply - in case of this family we can't come closer to a name, I'm afraid...
Many thanks nevertheless, Sundew

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
