Thanks Nikita, a good news. Since the time I've been learning flies, I hadn't yet explored seasides. Shame upon me ! Stephane. |

Since the time I've been learning flies, I hadn't yet explored seasides. Me too (or only hot seashores). I'm often thinking about several days I spend in Cancal 4 years ago  I could collect a hell lot of flies which are rare in Russia...

you can find over there Coelopidae, Heterocheilidae! This last has a peculiar head.  |

Well done, Stephane - a new family for the gallery, but not Helcomyzidae!  This is Coelopidae, probably Coelopa pilipes. Helcomyza is not so flattened, is greyer, has a darkened cross-vein and spines on the costa. Keep looking on the seaweed, though - you will find it!

Even so, I'm verry happy to have found a Coelopidae ! I haven't said my last word, I will find Helcomyza ! I submit them to the gallery. Thanks Tony. Stephane. |

Thanks Jens-Hermann. Now I know what I have to look for ! And indeed, it's very different from Coelopa ! A Nice species too. Greetings. Stephane. |
