Hi, is it possible to ID this fly based on its genital morphology? Found in march in a park in Vienna (he was mating, but couldn't catch his partner) Cheers, Lorin Edited by Carnifex on 16-03-2019 23:06 Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

Well, you are of course right. I was too focused on the antenna. Changed the title from Sphaeroc. to Phorid. Here is the full lateral view Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

I agree that the antennae of the two families are very easy to confuse with one another. Fortunately, your dorsal photo shows the wing venation beautifully. |
