In the Palaearctic software key I just get to Clemelis but it is hard to say for sure from the photos because it is difficult to judge some of the measurement or fine details. |

Theo... the links works, but we must put www. before.  diptera.info doesn't recognize URL without www. , so it drive us always to the main page!  http://www.dipter...to_id=1934 |

That's a male. Must have been more in the series, hardly possible to see that this is M. collaris. Theo |
