Hello, I need some help to ID this little fly. I can't even grasp the family.  The fly was not found by me, I have got only this picture. Any Idea ? Locality : Pyr?n?es orientales (66) - FRANCE. Date : May 31 2007 Habitat : dry scrubby environnement, more or less garrigue-like. Size : approx. 5 mm. Regards.

Sarcophagidae, Miltogramminae, somewhere near Sphenometopia

I would never have bet on Sarcophagidae, not even in calyptrate fly. Thank you for your help Tony. Stephane. |

I would never have bet on Sarcophagidae either. Just because it is not Sarcophagidae. Indeed not even a calyptrate. I am convinced it is acalyptrate: Milichia speciosa. We have seen a nice picture before, but this time it is a male. (reference: Meigen, Abbildungen der europaeischen zweifl?gligen Insecten nach der Natur: CCX 1e). Liekele |

Oops!  Wrong again! Liekele is quite right - This looks more like a female Milichia speciosa. There was a nice male at http://www.dipter...#post_7883 More pictures at http://www.nhm.ac...-s-mo.html Edited by Tony Irwin on 12-06-2007 00:00 Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |

Argh, I though about female Milichia but could not find any image to match my suspicion, not even a description (did not find/take time to search hard enough for that, I admit).
