Size 2-3mm. May 08, 2006, Bekasovo-1 Station, Naro-Fominsk district, Moscow region, Russia. Once spotting me, they started to run like hell in all directions. The best results of the chase are presented. Dmitry Gavryushin attached the following image:  [101.02Kb] |

Different species. The first could be Lotophila atra (I will see if I can make this more certain), the second I expect is a species of Leptocera s.l.

According to Dr. Rohacek, the first fly: "Crumomyia ? fimetaria (Meigen, 1830), male. This is a woodland species often found on decayed fungi. Although I cannot see all necessary features, the identification is probably correct". the second one: "Spelobia (Spelobia) sp., female. Unidentifiable to species but probably other than S. clunipes". Edited by Dmitry Gavryushin on 26-07-2006 10:51 |
