Is this a Pipunculidae? (maybe Nephrocerus?) Much bigger (body length 7 mm) than other Pipunculidae I have seen. Collected in southernmost Sweden june 23.

Using the key of GROOTAERT and DE MEYER (1986) I have concluded that this is flavicornis. "Hind tibiae broadened at tip and with an apical fringe of stiff brown bristles (fig. 8) ; these are somewhat weaker in female than in male ; antennae entirely yellow ; arista yellow at base but black at apical part." /Magnus |
