I've been using Roskosny's stratiomyid monograph to look again at this female Nemotelus, and it keys out to N. atriceps, and fits the description very well. Smile
However atriceps has only been recorded from France, Portugal, Spain, Malta and North Africa. Shock Did you really take this specimen in Moscow? Could be a very important record! Smile

Well Tony, it's definitely Moscow region. Three specimens collected (and more had escaped) by sweeping on a wet meadow near a small brook.

Mmmmm ... Sad
I think my enthusiasm clouded my judgement on this one. On reflection, I think it is most likely to be N.pantherinus. As with many Brachycera, leg colour can vary in this genus, and I think yours is simply a specimen with dark banding on the fore and middle tibiae. The males of atriceps and pantherinus are easily separated, pantherinus having extensive yellow marks on the frons (though these are sometimes reduced).
Apologies for creating unecessary excitement.

No problem Tony, N. pantherinus is OK for me, too.
