Hello!

I have had males around for a few days, is this a female Delia radicum? (changed title to D. platura)

14th April, near Lincoln UK.

As there is an ad seta on the mid tibia, I wouldn't say it is Delia radicum. A better guess would be female Lasiomma, probably L. picipes because I can see just 1 pd on the mid tibia. Greetings, Niels

Hi Niels, I think the male Delia radicum differs to the female, check the pics I have in the gallery of a mating pair. The female does have a strong ad on the mid tibia by the looks.

What I'm having trouble seeing is the 2 pd setae on the front tibia, there looks to be only one unless that is variable?

Janet, are you sure this isn't D. platura? The pre-alar (if I'm looking at the right bristle!) seems shorter than the second notopleural.

Stephen, I'm not sure of anything! Wink You could be right, D. paltura was around too where I got this.

I checked out Nikita's female D. platura, it does match better! I'll change the title, but I think that is it.

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
