Hi, I wonder if this belongs to Sciomyzidae at all? From very old forest, Loviisa, Southern Finland today.

Hi, any suggestions where to find the key to Dryomyzidae ? We have only four and just two of them are Dryomyza; decrepita and flaveola but without key this will stay sp. forever Sad

Andrey Ozerov is working on new key. So far I know only an old one and in Russian. D. decrepita has infuscated crossveins, so it seems to be D.flaveola.

I don't remember dryomyzids having such a row of spines on the hind femora.

There is also an old German key for this family:

Czerny, L., 1930. Dryomyzidae.? In: (E. Lindner ed.) Die Fliegen der pal?arktischen Region 5(38a): 1-8.

Hi Jan. This spines bothered and still bother me too. On the other hand a havn't any other idea instead of Dryomyzidae, antennae look very anti-Sciomyzid.
Jari, could you make a couple more images?

It is a dryomyzid, but not Pseudoneuroctena senilis rather than Dryomyza. The R1 vein should be hairy on upper surface (like in N. anilis).

This species is not common in Finland, but very widespread. Most specimens I've seen were caught in the northern half of the country.

Edit. Some sources (like Fauna Europaea) list this species as a Dryomyza.

Hi, it's getting interesting Smile Here is an other angle. The R1 is indeed hairy on upper side. It's not visible in picture Sad

Thank You both of You. If Kahis is interested, the place is only 45 minutes East from his home Grin Nice place and needs maybe a professional to vist.

I really doubt it is absent from Russia. Just look in every boreal forest stand you have there, sooner or later you'll find it Pfft

My friend and colleague Kaj Winqvist warned me about something odd going on in Dryomyzidae. As usual, he was right Smile

This is definitely not Pseudoneuroctena, if the key in the Manual of Palearctic Diptera is reliable. The only dryomyzid genus with such strong setae on hind femur is Paradryomyza.

Interestingly, there seem to be no genuine Pseudoneuroctena specimens in MZH at all. I wonder if there isn't some confusion here, either in the generic characters, or in the species list...

In any case, I will hunt for the descriptions of the 4 known Paradryomyza species next, and hope we can find a finnish male with intact male genitalis (the specimen in MZH is a female).

Cheers,
Jere

Gentlemen,

When looking for a picture of Dryope flaveola I came across this topic...

Kahis is right Pfft. This is a Paradryomyza!

P. spinigera; reported recently form Sweden and Norway but not from Finland as far as I can find.
Norway: http://www.entomo...enlund.pdf
Sweden: https://www.resea..._to_Sweden

Greetigs,

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
