26.09.2006, Turkey, Side. Size less than 3mm. On fine sand below bushes, together with Actocetor margaritatus (Ephydridae). Many more were swept from vegetation in various places on next day. Nikita has finally suggested that this might be a Trixoscelididae. P.S. 09.10.2006. The bush was Styrax officinalis.

You are right and wrong: It is Trixoscelis but nowadays it is within a subfamily Trixoscelininae in Heleomyzidae.

Andrzej. I prefer Paul's point of veiw. Not as I diptera systematic, but practicaly: if it is subfamily in Heleomyzidae, that you have to give us species level ID! Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Hello everyone from Turkey, and many thanks for your comments. The place where I initially found these remains the best one for observing them, it's shady and well-hidden, and the flies are easy to shake from trees on sand. Today I've found a place where they seem to be really abundant, it' sort of camels' resting place where the spend hottest day hours and are off duty. I swept around 10 of them there in the evening, both males and females. |

Both are Trixoscelis species. The left one represents a frontalis-species group, the second is new to Turkey. Andrzej |

It is site where Trixoscelis was collected late Sept-early Oct. P.S. In March Trixoscelis was collected in another (though somewhat similar site in 1-2 km from this one) Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [194.36Kb] Edited by Nikita Vikhrev on 20-11-2007 11:02 Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

ts tsss tss you forgot to catch the fly that we can see in under left photo. Put your cursor key above the word BY... and then advance above about 6 cursor key size. you will see a tiny black spot. It seems you are sucking the juice of the fly.
