Currently known as Rhamphomyia (Amydroneura) hirsutipes, but it has no clearly associated females and it is virtually always found in company of R. (A.) erythrophthalma that differs only in not having all those hairs. In my opinion it is the same species as erythrophthalma but it has not been synonymised formally, yet (AFAIK). It is a typical species of late summer and autumn and can be extremely numerous on locations. Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |
