Berlin - September I have no experience with Sepsidae. I think that this species is of the Sepsidae family, so I hope that I am correct. I am trying to reach a species. I must admit that the terminalia is strange to me. I am not familiar with this family, so I haven't dissected the terminalia. I want to research first. johnes81 attached the following image:  [153.51Kb] Edited by johnes81 on 15-09-2017 23:01 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Thank You Sir Paul. I am not familiar with Sepsidae. I have seen them before but I've never tried to identify one. I don't have keys yet. Sepsidae are very difficult to work with at the microscope. At least this one is difficult. Anyway, Thank You very much.

definitely Nemopoda nitidula. I found a pdf with drawings of genitalia and keys: Pont & Meier The Sepsidae of Europe https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Rudolf_Meier/publication/263429542_The_Sepsidae_Diptera_of_Europe/links/0046353ad408a4937d000000/The-Sepsidae-Diptera-of-Europe.pdf page 127 shows the hypopygium which is easily matched with my specimen. Thank You very much Sir Paul
