I found this one in my photo archive. It was photographed on May 22nd, 2006, at the edge of a wooded area, close to the river Linge at Beesd, Netherlands. I did not record the size. Because I did not know at that time how difficult the identification of flies is, I named it Platystoma semionatis after seeing some photographs of that species, an identification which I very much doubt now and which I would like to have confirmed (or corrected) at least. Could anyone help me out with this one? Thank you in advance! Jan Zwaaneveld attached the following image:  [148.44Kb] Edited by Jan Zwaaneveld on 19-03-2007 13:34 http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |

identifying this genus in Southern Europe becomes extremely tricky though.

... but in the Netherlands there is only the one species.

Hmm, not bad at all for the absolute beginner I was at that time  Thanks for confirmation, Paul! Edited by Jan Zwaaneveld on 19-03-2007 16:44 http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |
