HI * locality - Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL * date - 18.11.2006 * size - 4 mm (small fly) * habitat - open land * substrate - leaf of Castanea sativa hundreds of these flies around. Grape fruits in decomposition. Lots of Drosophilidae, Sarcophagidae, Calliphoridae flies! And some Syrphidae, and Polistes sp. too... Sepsis sp. ? no spot in wings. Can be Ulidiidae fly? Not sure about the real differencem, but seems in tip of abdomen, very acute and pointed to ground in Ulidiidae fly. I suppose this is a female fly... correct? Thank you! jorgemotalmeida attached the following image:  [191.19Kb] |

Jizz Basal constriction af abdomen gives an ant-like appearance. Sepsidae. It is (perhaps) not Sepsis though.My guess Nemopoda nitidula Robert Edited by Robert Nash on 22-11-2006 11:28 |

I agree with Robert that it is Sepsidae, but disagree that Nemopoda. Fused bm br cells look like in case of Australosepsis niviepennis. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
