Hello, I think it's perhaps a Miltogramminae, Metopia sp, m?le. Edited by bobgaia on 28-05-2006 18:40 |

Bob is quite right. It is a male Metopia. The most likely speices is M. argyrocephala (it might just be tshernovae, which is rare indeed). Theo Zeegers |

Thank you, Louis, Bob and Theo for your reaction. This fly is new for me, and so is it's family. I can say that this is a nice introduction to the Metopia sp. for me!  greeting Robert, |
