Hello, since there aren't any photos in the gallery and I don't know, if there are similar species, I wanted to ask, if this fly could be Lipara lucens? I found it on a meadow next to a reed-area on May, 21th in Eich-Gimbsheim, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. With kind regards, Kathrin KathrinJ attached the following image:  [99.71Kb] |

Lipara lucens Meigen, 1830 (Chloropidae, Oscinellinae), The adjective lucens means "shining" and describes the slightly golden hairs which densely cover the robust fly, different from two other blackish Lipara species, pullitarsis and rufitarsis. L. similis is smaller, less robust, with longer silvery hairs. The larvae of the valid 5 European Lipara spp. produce galls in reed (Phragmites australis). These cigar-like galls, in L. lucens heavily lignified, are the focus of a great many of scientific publications and dissertations. |
