October 22, 2009, 43.4766N, 39.9067E, Sochi/Adler, Krasnodar Territory, Russia. Size around 2.5 mm. One female (in the picture) and two or three males were collected. There's a number of species described recently, especially by Ruediger Wagner (1983, 1995, 1998), so a closer examination is needed.

While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

Dolichocephala is correct, but there might be alternative species.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
