I found these flies during the third week of June, 2015, near Faliraki. I think they all belong to the same sp. Although it is not clearly visible in all pictures, R5 is open in each case. Could it be Amictus pulchellus? Thanks fo any help! Greetings, Henrik Males: piros attached the following image: ![]() [199.58Kb] Edited by piros on 22-12-2015 17:16 |

Well, it seems that Amictus pulchellus is the only Amictus species found in Rhodes ![]() ![]() |

Many thanks again Piluca! As for a side view of the hind femora, this is the best I can do: piros attached the following image: ![]() [194.32Kb] |

Well, at least it seems to have a row of ventral bristles on hind femora as it should have ![]() ![]() Amictus pulchellus is supposedly also found in Spain. However I have never seen anything that could make me remotely suspect it was that species. The common species here is Amictus variegatus. These pictures are very useful for me!! Thanks for posting!! ![]() |

Thanks again! Additionally, quite a number of Amictus sp. seem to have closed R5, in contrast to this one, so, taken together... Kind regards, Henrik |
