Hello, the photo is from May 21, 2016 taken in our garden in Hannover, Germany. The fly is about (8 mm), corrected to 4 mm! Could it be a Gymnosoma? Perhaps a female G. nudifrons? Sorry for having just this picture. Thank you for an answer! Hans Haleun attached the following image:  [186.15Kb] Edited by Haleun on 29-09-2016 21:10 |

I know the pic is a few months old, but could it be that your memory is misleading you ? It looks like 4 mm. , rather than 8 mm. theo |

Hi Theo, yes, now I remember that I first thought of an Agromyzidae because of the length when taking the picture. It is sitting on Alchemilla with hairy (appr. 1 mm hair) leaves. I hope this helps you? Hans |

Well, it is Gymnosoma, so you are never sure, but it does look like the female of G. costatum. theo |

Thank you so much, Theo! Indeed it looks like G. costatum as in thread http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=34113&pid=151646. Cheers, Hans |
