Thanks guysSmile. Nice, a snail predator! The only Discomyza known from Iberian Peninsula is D. incurva, but this one looks different, for example the front tarsi are of different colour. Is it possible that it could be another species?

I felt it was not quite the same as other Discomyza I had seen, hence I did not put in the species name. My keys are still safely locked away in boxes so no way I could have checked. Should change soon, though. Wink
