As with the previous, apologies if I've already asked about this one. They do photograph very nicely sometimes though - and such beautiful flies. 25/6/2009; Devon, England Thanks Tim tim worfolk attached the following image:  [117.53Kb] Edited by tim worfolk on 04-07-2009 07:22 |

Sorry, it is Dolichopus ungulatus (Linnaeus, 1758): bristles on hind and mid basitarsi and femora are present. Igor Grichanov |

Igor, a purplish spot above notopleuron is only present in Poecilobothrus (see Brooks 2005). D. ungulatus has the costal vein swollen and long ventral hairs on femur II and III. Stefan Edited by Stefan Naglis on 27-06-2009 07:56 |

Yes, Stefan, some details are not distinct. But I think a spot above notopleuron is not a true purplish spot; it is a shady place surrounded with large copper halo because of sunshine. Poecilobothrus has rather specific curvation of M vein, and I do not remember species with dorsal seta on mid metatarsus. So, it is certainly Dolichopus, I think.

Thanks Stefan and Igor. So can I say certainly Dolichopus ungulatus, certainly Dolichopus sp. or probably Dolichopus sp.? Tim |
