Hi Elisabeth, My guess would be Eudasyphora cyanicolor, a female. The one next to it could be Neomyia. Stephen. Edited by Stephen R on 21-02-2011 13:13 |

Thank you Stephen Yes you are right I can see that there are differences in wing venation with presutural ac= 0, postsutural ac = 2 and postsutural ac= 4 May I ask how you can tell it's not Eudasyphora cyanella (Meigen, 1826)? |

I may be wrong, but I don't think the scutum of E. cyanella is ever this dark blue. Usually greenish blue. Stephane will tell us if this is wrong |

This is right. I agree with E. cyanicolor.
Stephane. |

Thank you both for your help and confirmation- I am amazed that it's something as simple as a difference in colour! Elis |
