Apolysis, only one recorded on Canarys is eremophila, but on Tenerife not Fuerteventura, so could just as easily be an undescribed species. |

This is Mythicomyiidae, not Apolysis. Probably Cephalodromia. The proboscis is buried in the flower. |

I am glad I happened to see this post, because I have not visited the forum for a while. Thanks for correction. At the same place and time I did some more, but only bad photos of the tiny flies. Here is another picture were the proboscis is visible. Does the proboscis confirm Cephalodromia? Marion Marion Friedrich attached the following image:  [77.29Kb] |
