29.08.2006, collected by sweeping, very small (around 2.5mm). I managed to make just a couple of shots and then it escaped with no chance to recover it in my kitchen with patterned wallpaper around 2 a.m. (I also photographed and lost a small beetle, Throscus sp.)

Many thanks Chris - and which one then? - not a pellucens I suppose (2/3 of arista has to be thickened) - maybe continua ? (I think there was a longitudinal black stripe on abdomen) |

Black is quite right. It's a male of Clytomyia continua. Based on the erect hairs on abdomen. Theo Zeegers |

Hmm, the "Eliozeta helluo" had very erect bristles, but flat hairs. I might be looking at the wrong place but it looks like there are upright bristles - but I can't see upright hairs in this photo because most of the abdomen is out of focus  Do Clytomyia have identical head and thorax to Eliozeta? |

Thank you both Chris and Theo. Maybe the 2nd picture will throw some more light?... Dmitry Gavryushin attached the following image:  [122.46Kb] |
