empidid --- venation wing fits well, but strange.. long proboscis is absent. awkward
(perhaps broken, but it is unusual because all empidids I caught never broke their proboscis. awkward )

Long proboscis (really long that is) is really only found in Empidinae (in Europe). Other subfamilies have shorter probosces, those in Clinocerinae possibly the shortest.

Hi Paul,
There are a few exceptions in Clinocerinae, e.g. Hypenella, but they are not from Europe.
All the best,
IgorSmile

This is Clinocera stagnalis.

It is holarctic in distribution, found in a variety of habitats and appears to have a wide temperature tollerance.

And this species is new for mainland Portugal. Smile Thank you.

May I ask which are the definitive characters for C. staganalis that we can see in these photos? Thank you again.
