Good morning,

Last week, while I was on vacation on the South of Portugal, I was able, during a night when I set a light trap for moths, to observe this little Tephritid, which I think might be a Dithryca guttularis.
Can anyone help me confirm its ID?
The picture was taken on a windy night (wind > 20Km/h), about 1 Km away from the sea, in the resort where I was staying near Albufeira, near areas of Mediterranean bush. Precise date was July 9, at 23:06.
Thank in advance for any help.
Kind regards,

Fernando Pires

Compare with Noeeta in the Diptera Gallery.
I can't tell you which Noeeta it is, in Fauna Europaea Noeeta hemiradiata is mentioned for the Iberian Peninsula, but only for Spain.

Thanks Ben. TumbsUp The problem is that the Portuguese fauna is still terribly understated. There are just too few of us searching and taking pictures of little beautiful things like this one. Sad

This indeed looks like Noeeta hemiradiata Dirlbek & Dirlbek, the species I considered phantom (even the types have not been located yet!!!)

Any material collected?

Hello Nosferatumyia,

I'm deeply sorry that I am so late in answering to your comment. I believe that the Diptera.info warnings are getting thrown to my SPAM folder, and this is probably the reason why I didn't see it.
Thank you so much for identifying this little wonder. Unfortunately I did not capture the specimen, but if I see some I'll capture it and keep it in 70%alcohol.
Not a phantom anymore I guess! Grin
Again sorry for the delay.
All the best and stay safe,

Fernando

Dear Fernando,

I'd appreciate also a more detailed location for my database, perhaps with coordinates (here or in a private message)

Dear Val,

Here are the coordinates: 37°04'50.8"N 8°17'08.9"W
Believe it or not, it was in a resort where each apartment had a little yard where I set up the sheet and the light every night. Quite a few surprises, despite the nearby heavy street illumination. I always say: it's always worth a try! And boy, did it pay off.
One curiosity: Is mine the only known picture of a live individual of this species?
Thanks again for the id confirmation, and do let me know if I can help you any further.
I promise that, if in future endeavours I happen to catch one of these beauties, I'll collect it and send it to you.
All the best,

Fernando

Yes.
The holotype is not located still. It seems to be returned to a privatecollection, and thus seems to be lost. The original illustration of the wing was good, but this is by far the only locality and the only picture. Please try to find out, which species of Hieracium it is associated and to do a picture of the host plant. I still have a dream to revise this strange genus of one common species and half-dozen very rare and local ones.

Wow, this is really baffling. I will pay attention to see if I'm able to find the plant and the fly on it. I will keep you posted. In the meantime could you tell me how to upload this picture into the gallery, since there isn't any other?
Thanks in advance Val,

Fernando

I had already added it, but replaced it with your submission (slightly bigger picture, I think).

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
