I found this Nematocera fly inside home.

The antenna looks as long as the body, about 1 or 1'5 cm long.

Can Grau, Beuda, Girona, Catalonia, NE Iberian Peninsula, UTM 31T DG7477, 395 m, 7h April 2011.

John Carr suggested could be Macrocera (Keroplatidae)

It's possible to know, the sex, or maybe which species could be, looking at the black patches in the wing?
(Then how can I rename the picture of the fly to stand with the correct name, as we needed to accept...)

It is a female, but I am not familiar with the Mediterranean fauna.

hi, I tried with Lindner's series and it seems a "dark-legged" M. bipunctata, but all the pic seems dark,

can anybody tell me if those keys are still valid? I suppose that's a difficult question
thanks anyway for your atention

- edit: I see now M. bipunctata doesn´t appear at Fauna Europaea, I´ll look for synonyms

Maybe a female Macrocera centralis, M. inversa, M. stigma, M. stigmoides
M. bipunctata is a junior synonim of M. inversa

I have been studying macrocera species and, following SĂ©guy 1940:
1) Ailes couvertes d'une pilosité microscopique uniforme, sans poils plus longs. (even if that is not visible the other way runs to a cul de sac)
2) Ailes tachées, au moins une petite tache brune.
3) Ailes à extrémité claire.
(From now on plus Landrock in Lindner 1927)
4) Wings not only avec Une tache sombre près de la base de la cellule cu 1 +
Une tache sombre Ă  la base de la cellule r5.


r1 not widened at the top !
Abdomen: tergites avec des bandes basales pâles!.
Ailes sans tache costale.!

Macrocera inversa (= bipunctata). Edw.!!

In fact Paqui Mars wrote me a private message telling me she thought it could be that species

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
