Is my idea ok? Please help me to get the ID.

No, this is not Portevinia maculata, there are too many hairs on eyes.

Thank you very much Xylo,
so it remains "Cheilosia sp." ?

Judging from Bot & Meutter 2019, the combination of dark antennae, hairy eyes, and clear, welldefined grey-blue spots on the tergits should point to Cheilosia fasciata. C. semifasciata has less clear spots and is quite small.
I have myself never seen any of the two mentioned Cheilosia, however.

Hello people,

Portevinia has red antennae. Cheilosia fasciata has dark hairs on the eyes and quite extensive red around the knees. The dark legs, light hair on the eyes, weak spots on the abdomen and habitat all point to Cheilosia semifasciata. Also the quite downward protruding face, although poorly visible from this angle, is an indication
The larvae mine the leaves of Sedum sp., a common garden plant.
This is also from experience as I have seen all the aforementioned species multiple times in the field...

Kind regards,

Ectemnius

Woow, thank you very much Thomas Smile and Ectemnius Smile.
So I think I can change headline to Cheilosia semifasciata!
Best regards Kuv

Congrats, kuv - I trust that we will find this species in Denmark one day, too, since both the British and the Norwegians have it, too. :-)

Wow, it's not listed as Danish in faunaeuropea indeed! If you want to find it, don't look in the vicinity of Sedum sp. In the Netherlands it has been found at least several kilometers away from the nearest Sedum plant.
The place and time to look for it is in April and May along paths in forests. There you find males, sometimes in a group, defending a territory on some leaves. Mostly found in parks and small woods in the vicinity of urban areas.

Kind regards,

Ectemnius

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
