Hi, This grey Muscid I saw in Austria, Tyrol, Niederthai (1.500 m) in last August. I reckon I see the "Phaonia bristle" on the hind tibia, but can a species name be given? Many thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [173.17Kb] Edited by Sundew on 30-06-2011 22:59 |

Azelini also have "Phaonia bristle". I think it is female Drymeia vicana Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

That's very interesting! A new genus for me. However, the species description on Joke van Erkelens' website http://www.dipter...ecies.html is a bit different. The hairs on the eyes of my fly are very short, and also the setae on midtibia and hind legs do not fit her description. It seems that the arista of my fly is a bit plumose (though it is not clearly seen in all the pics - alas!), and that seems to differ from the photo by Walter Gritsch (http://www.fugleo...p?ID=64589). So who is right? |

I would expect more than 1 strong pd on t3 in Drymeia. A female Thricops I would say.

As far as I can see and say as a non-dipterologist, Thricops seems to fit better. Thank you, Stephane. |
