Hello everybodies,

I need your help to identify this small fly found among the dunes of the south coast of French Brittany next to a pond with reed.

Approximately 2mm, seen on September 05, 2018 in Palud Gourinet, 29710 Pouldreuzic (France)

The base of the wing is white and the crossveins are black. I did not find anything in Ephydridae... may be a Canacidae ?

thank you in advance.

Pierre-Yves

Thanck you very much Tony, I was totaly lost. After some research, I found Trixoscelis marginella (I had collected a specimen).

References :
- WALTER HACKMAN. Trixoscclidae (Diptera) from Southern Spain and Description of a New Trixoscelis Species from Northern Europe. Ent. scand. 1. 1970. 127-134.
- ANDRZEJ J. WOŹNICA. The female postabdomen of five species of Trixoscelis RONDANI 1856 (Diptera: Trixoscelididae). Dipteron. 31 XII 2014. Tom 30: 99-105.

thank you again,

Pierre-Yves

This female specimen is rather similar to T. obscurella by the lacking of dark long marginal stripe along the costal and subcostal wing veins section.

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
