Kursk reg., 26 May, oak forest. This fly was mixed with another material and twice escaped being sended to Igor Shamshev for ID. My attempt to key it leads me to Oedalea holmgreni. What is experts opinion? Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [114.13Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

I do not have the key here, but at least Oedalea is correct.

Hard to tell from phot but I doubt it is holmgreni as the antennae appears to have a short fat arista (more pointed in holmgreni). I think it more likely to be flavipes cheers Adrian |

1. Thank you Paul and Adrian. 2. The couplet dividing O.holmgreni and O.flavipes deal with shape of arista tip and require material to compare. May be it helps: halteres blackish setae on scutellum - blackish (according my key in O.flavipes has to be yellowish) Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
