Hello! On these 3 flies from yesterday (Ostwestfalen/Germany) I don't dare to put even a family name on (the yellow one perhaps Lauxaniidae?). Can somebody help me? Thanks! No #1 on a Leucanthemum flower at the forest:  No #2, a gray one:  No #3, gray and yellow, was the smallest, max. 4 mm. Sorry, only bad pic:

I think: 1. Pallopteridae 2. Lauxaniidae 3. Agromyzidae Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

The last one is a Phytomyza sensu lato (Agromyzidae). Nikita is probably right on n. 1, but both are unfamiliar species to me. No. 2 leaves me totally baffled

Hello, Nikita and Kahis! Many thanks! Nikita Vikhrev wrote: 1. Pallopteridae I had taken that family into account, too, but did not find a species with such characteristic wing pattern.

The first two are both Lauxaniidae, and I even think that both are Minettia. The second one may be Minettia rivosa (if that is still the current name). I need to check for the top one.

According to my "Entomofauna Germanica" Minettia rivosa is a valid taxon.
