Hello, The quality of the photos is really poor, sorry for that; but it would appear there are few available, if any, of this species so I put them here anyway. After submitting the pictures to the knowledgeable people at insecte.org they came with a male Eucoryphus coeruleus as ID. The remarkable antennae give the genus and the sex, while the black tibiae indicate the species. Do you agree ? August 28th, 2018, Gemmipass, Switzerland, on sand banks. Altitude: 2290m. Body size: ~3.2 mm Caillou attached the following image:  [217.37Kb] Edited by Caillou on 18-01-2019 22:01 Pierre Bornand |

What a remarkable fly! It would be good if you could submit a photo to the gallery.

Eucoryphus coeruleus after Parent (1938). One of two known species in the genus.

Thank you Igor for your confirmation of the ID. Tony: yes I will submit the pictures to the gallery, anyway Paul can not use them if he deems the quality insufficient. Pierre Bornand |
