Hello, Here enclosed, a link to some pictures of an heleomyzidae which as been seen in the darkness of a bunker on the Col de Tende (in the Alpes at around 1800m high) at the border France/Italy. I am not sure whether the picture will be sufficient to determine the genus/specie, but any clue or idea are welcome.  http://www.insect...p;t=146559 Thanx for your help! -Bscrl- Edited by Bscrl on 12-09-2015 00:59 |

Because someone suggested Scoliocentra (villosa (?)) because of the 'short' basitarsus. Best Regards, -Bscrl- Edited by Bscrl on 03-10-2015 20:39 |

Hello Andrzej, Thanks a lot for your feedback. As a beginner, i am not sure about what is called Mesopleuron, and since depending the authors, it seems that this term can be ambiguous, just to understand your question in the right way, i have a little adding question : In the Fig 5 of the chapter "Thorax of Dipter" of http://www.giand....mp;lang=en, to which area (from 8 to 14) are you refering to ? Many thanks again for your help -Bscrl- |

Here is the mesopleuron , nowadays mostly called the anepisternum.

Thanks Paul for this precision Then yes , as far as i can see on the pictures i've taken, the anepisternum of my heleomyzidae looks hairless Is Gymnomus the only genus of Heleomyzidae having this characteristic ? Edited by Bscrl on 04-10-2015 10:30 |

In the key to nearctic Heleomyzidae, several genera have bare anepisternum. |

Manual of Nearctic Diptera and other important Canadian publications: http://www.esc-se...fcmono.php. Cyclorrhapha (including Heleomyzidae) are in volume 2. Species of North American Heleomyzidae were revised in 1962: http://www.biodiv...0#/summary |
