Photographed today at Leerdam, Netherlands. Small fly, appr. 3 mm long. Is this Sphaeroceridae and would it be possible to tell genus or even species from these awkward photographs? Thank you in advance! Jan Zwaaneveld attached the following image:  [77.9Kb] http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |

Jan, your fly (it is Sphaeroceridae without doubts) has on hind busytarsus curved ventral spine. I think this means Sphaerocera curvipes, but I'll be at least as happy as you if somebody confirm this. Nikita P.S. I specialy beged Black to ask Dr. Rohacek

The comment from Jindřich Roháček: ...photos from Netherlands are difficult to identify due poor quality and non-visible diagnostic characters; anyway, it is a species of Copromyzinae, probably Copromyza sp. or Lotophila. It could be Lotophila atra ... because I do not see the ventral spur on hind tibia; however, I am unsure if this spur really is absent. |

Thanks very much for sending mr. Rohaceks comment, Black. Please send him my thanks for helping with this one. Copromyzinae sp. it is, then. http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |
