Hello Presence of a row of bristles on the occiput. The parafacial bristle is present but broken. A Ephydridae that has a bare arista. Collected in the Camargue, by inference may Halmopota mediterraneus. pic 1 christoophe attached the following image:  [183.88Kb] |

In my researches, the arista is closer of salinarius than to mediterraneus. Arista greatly thickened near base, then narrowed sharply. |

After examination of the genitalia, I propose Halmopota mediterraneus.

I would suggest Halmopota septentrionalis Canzoneri & Meneghini, once described as a subspecies of mediterraneus, see http://mail.izan....sheina.pdf.

Which would be new to France, according to Fauna Europaea. Save me a specimen.

I go back and collect more in Camargue. It's a surprise, I collected all these species (Ephydridae, Dolichopodidae and Sphaeroceridae) in a small puddle that serves as a drinking trough for wild boars. Thank you Paul for two threads. |
