August 14, 2007, Ozhigovo station, Naro-Fominsk district, Moscow region. Size 2.5 mm. I'm almost sure it's not a Platypezidae, but what is it then? Maybe Atelestidae or (less likely) Opetiidae?

Pipunculidae, genus Chalarus, quite a disaster if you want an identification.

I am familiar with that one. Not the easiest to work with...

Soc. 105: 243-352 the specimen looks like a male, many males are yet to be associated with their females so Jervis does not key all species of this sex |
