Hi, I am still practising to discriminate between the Melanostomas, and this female I would call M. mellinum. I find frons and face shiny, not dusted, and I cannot see hairs on the arista. Do you agree? The photos were taken in my garden in a summer evening, and the flashlight made the abdomen spots invisible - they would not be helpful in females anyway, as I was told.
