Good evening, here are two very small specimen (a little bit to small for my cheap camera). Is it possinble to say more than "Thaumatomyia sp."? There is a 100% chance again, that these is (are) the most common species ;-) Thanks in advance Frank #1419 Austria / Osttirol: Au?ervillgraten, Winkeltal, 1600m, VII.2006   #6213 Italy / S?dtirol: Spondining, Rail Station, 950 m, VIII.2005

Nr 1? and 2 looks very much like T. notata, the most common sepcies. The other two images of the second fly belong to different species. |

The 2nd species is the oh-so-shiny T. glabra. I'm not convinced the 1st one is notata, the cheek seems too high for that species.

I based on my id mainly on two characteristics of notata: the form of black patch on the head. and the very regular round shape of the third antennal segment. Based on the Chlorpidae booklet of the Hungarian fauna this should be pretty reliable combination for notata. Kahis, which of the 4 possible T. species (hallandica, rufa, trifasciata, elongatula) of Austria do you have in mind? |

Thank you very much, Gabor & Kahis, for your fast replies and suggestions. It?s nice to get names for this small flies to post them in the gallery here. T. glabra should be the first wildlife photo in the www. Best regards Frank |
