Hello, the black fly on the right is Phania funesta, I guess. But what is the small yellow thing on the left. A Meromyza species? If yes, are there some very common species of this genus in germany? Thanks, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [69.43Kb] |

Phania funesta is right (with the caveat that thoracica looks almost identical but is incredibly rare  ) - not sure about the other one  |

The yellow/black fly is rather Thaumatomyia. Regards. Stephane. |

Hello, thank you for the anwers. The small yellow fly looks indeed very much like the Thaumatomyias in the gallery. Only that I can't see anything black on the abdomen. Is this something special, or is this specimen simply weakly colored? Michael |

There is some species with mostly yellow abdomen (see T. notata) and other with more extensive black markings. Not a problem.
Stephane. |
