Turkey, Side, sand dunas. I collected 6 specimens, unfortunely all females. Size 3-4mm.
Looks like Sepsis thoracica with unspoted wings.

Hi Nikita,

Do you mean to say that this is the male of Sepsis lateralis? The drawings of the legs in "The Sepsidae (Diptera) of Europe" (Pont & Meier, 2002) look rather different!?

Hi Jan.
I thought so, because Sepsis lateralis wasn't registred in Russia and I didn't know how it looks like. Right know I've got message from Andrey Ozerov, that may be it is (Sepsis dissimilis?).
Today evening I collected strange female of (Sepsis lateralis?) with head dorso-ventraly flattened as in case of Xenosepsis. Than I dicovered that it is (Sepsis lateralis-dissimilis), but still very srtange - cells br-bm fused (so in case of male). Another females is with separated bm-br. This is genus level character in Sepsidae.
Andrey, help!
Nikita

Hi Nikita,

Yes those legs agree with the figures given in Pont & Meier (2002). You do have quite a lot of experience with Sepsidae in the meantime!

Thank you Jan.
Ozerov confirmed too S. lateralis.
Today collected some another crazy Sepsidae - Dicranosepsis or some another, but from genus not living in Russia.
