This photo was sent me from Ukraine, greenhouse with Pleurotes fungi. No end of abdomen. Looks like Megaselia? Please help! They want to struggle against this fly, but possibly it is predatory or parasitic?

Hi. This is a female Dohrniphora. You need males to identify species. They could be breeding in almost anything, including fungi. Any males? Please put the words "scuttle fly" in your headers of messages about phorids, it makes them easier for me to find. Brian Brian Brown Entomology NH Museum of Los Angeles Co. |

Many thanks for the identification. No males, sorry. The material is not mine. possibly they'll catch some males next year. |
