Hello, this couple was mating on March 30 beside our garden pond in Hannover, Germany. The female is about 15 mm. I think they are Cylindrotomidae, perhaps Phalacrocera replicata? Is it possible to confirm it? Thanks for answers! Hans Haleun attached the following image: [139.33Kb] Edited by Haleun on 15-04-2014 18:42 |

Hi, according to Wikipedia there are only 4 Cylindrotomidae species in Germany. Perhaps that makes it easier for a dipterist? Best regards, Hans |

Didn't see this post. It does, and more of it there is only 2 species that are black. This is indeed Phalacrocera replicata, a specie i haven't met yet Edited by clovis on 15-04-2014 17:09 |
