Kahis, are the setae on the mesonotum not too short for Pipunculus? I thought they might be Tomosvaryella...

Definitely not Smile Not too short that is, and also definitely not Tomosvaryella as that genus has crossvein R-M near middle of discal cell.

Perhaps, but Pipunculus is still unrevised and nobody has apparently seen the types of P. campestris; all descriptions of this species are based on wishful thinking, not type material. The types have apparently been found in Paris and I know that Dr. Kehlmaier is now working with this rather problematic genus.
