Hello, thank you for your quick answer. Peplomyza litura seems to be a rather common species. Could this be? Or are there many similar species? Michael |

It seems to me that on lower wing setae on base of R4+5 vein is slightly visible, if so - it is P.litura, the most common out of totally 4 european species.

Hello, I tried to see those bristles, but failed. Anyway - I will name those pictures Peplomyza cf. litura - the most probable possibility. Thanks again, Michael |
