Hello!

Also at the light yesterday night (Ostwestfalen/Germany) this Calliopum aeneum. Right? Thanks for confirmation or correction!

Calliopum, yes, but aeneum is stretching it a little with the amount of detail visible. From the present angles it would not be possible to distinguish it from C. simillimum, at least.

Would a lateral angle be better? These flies are frequent at the light now. Maybe I get new chance one of the next nights. Have taken new pics yesterday, too (together with one or two other Lauxaniids - but those I leave for tomorrow ;-)), but all from above.
Best regards,
Jürgen

It could help. Though I must say, if the thorax is really as blackish as it appears to be in the picture, it might well be C. geniculatum. If it is frequent, maybe you should collect a few specimens.

Thanks! Up to now I never collected any insects (except two or three beetles and true bugs for an entomologist I know).
Best regards,
Jürgen

Funny, today I was walking outside, saw so many flowers, many Eristales and Scatophagidae. The weather was more like the end of February.
Then I had to think about the Calliopum spec., which I once saw on November 1st in Budapest. When I noticed it thougt that this will be the last Lauxaniidae of the year. Now a Calliopum photographed in the end of November!

There were two or three other Lauxaniids at the light, too, yesterday (will post them later probably).
Best regards,
