Hi, can this be a species of Opomyzidae ? I have never seen one and I don't have any in my collection. Or is it just some of the Pallopteridae species ? Size 4mm and place Loviisa, Southern Finland today. Jari JariF attached the following image:  [61.41Kb] Edited by JariF on 14-07-2008 16:50 |

You meant Geomyza tripunctata, I suppose.

This is definitely not Geomyza tripunctata. It is a female of the so-called combinata group. It is most probably either Geomyza balachowskyi or G. hackmani. Difficult to say after a photo.

I have to admit that there is a good chance that it is indeed G. hackmani. There is a difference in sternite 8.

The abdomen of the females of G. balachowskyi often has a more "striped" appearance. Furthermore the postscutellum is normally less dark in G. balachowskyi. However both characters are not to be relied upon too much. To be certain, sternite 8 should be checked.

Thank's to Jan Willems papers I could find the ID Now I'm sure it's hackmani. The specimen was still fresh enough to get sternite 8 wisible. Jari |
