Moscow region, 27 july, near pond, 1,5mm. I think it is female? Costa with spines before break, wings clear, slightly brown, ac - 4 rows, eyes not hairy, face bristles 1+3-4, or - 2-3 forward and back pointed. Only about wings I'm sure. Hecamedoides glaucellus?

Hi Nikita Correct subfamily (Gymnomyzinae) and tribe (Discocerinini) but wrong species. Hecamedoides is greyer and has a more pronounced face. (It also has a small proclinate bristle on the front half of the frons, and a ventral spur on the hind tibia.) The two most likely genera are Ditrichophora and Gymnoclasiopa. The facial orbits look to be quite narrow on your specimen, so I think it's Gymnoclasiopa. There are four species recorded from Russia, of which only two occur in Brtiain, so I'm not going to try for a species name!

Thank you Tony. To tell you truth I'm glad with both result, mine - correct tribe, and yours genus level ID. And with fly collected (this time, for sure, this very fly from photo) there is clear hope for future full ID! Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
