Turkey, Side, sand dunas. I collected 6 specimens, unfortunely all females. Size 3-4mm. Looks like Sepsis thoracica with unspoted wings. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [59.53Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

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!? Jan Willem |

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 Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [67.56Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

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! Jan Willem |

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. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
