Hello Flyforum,

First I thought this was Peplomyza-fly(litura in holland), but when I look at the wingpatterns, these are different(for example: I see dark spots).
This fly is also elongated, got nice oval wingshapes, but the wings are standing in a different position.
Scutellum got color as scutem, the Peplomyza litura-fly I found before got a much lighter Scutellum.

I think I have to do with a different sp., but what kind?

Hi Robert,

Paul is completely right (just as we expect from himSmile). It is a female of Opomyza germinationis (Opomyzidae). At least the first one is a female (I don't know if all pictures are of the same specimen!?).

Yes, Jan Willem, this pictures are the same specimen.
Nice to know this kind of fly, I never found one.
But they are a bit small, that could be one of the reasons..Smile

thank you both,

Hi Robert,

Currently 14 species of this family are known from The Netherlands. Most species are smaller than Opomyza germinationisGrin.
