I photographed this fly on 19th Aug 2007 close to Etosha NP in Namibia. Does anybody know its identity? Thanks blackbird attached the following image:  [165.64Kb] |

It's always interesting to see african diptera, thanks. Considering that we seldom get a positive ID on the european species you shouldn't get your hopes up too much. |

It's a species of the subfamily Apocleinae. Jason Londt revised the Neolophonotus group and described nearby 5 new genera and hundrets of species. So we aren't able to identify the genus without checking some characteristics of the male genitalia. Yours PS: The mystax is remarkable! |
