Hello, Still in Savoy (France), 2007/7/27, 1750 m above sea level, size 8-10mm. It looks like a Scathophagidae, but with yellow antennas and this curious grey elongated spot on the fore leg. Any clue? Thanks in advance. pierred attached the following image:  [59.95Kb] Edited by pierred on 01-09-2007 18:15 Pierre Duhem |

Grey mark on front femora and plumose arista = S lutaria.

My test arista is bare, and it is Scathophaga furcata (Say) |

Andrey Do you think so? It's a bit difficult to see, but I thought there was a certain fuzziness around the arista, which I took to be plumosity. Also that very strong and defined grey mark on the femur I thought was more likely to be lutaria. Doesn't furcata tend to have a 'softer' looking mark? Susan |

Well,here is the best I can get from the arista. For me, it is not bare.
