Hi,
what are the features to distinguish Nemopoda from Themira with yellow legs?
I am thinking this is N. nitidula, but would be glad to be able to safely recognize them in the future.
Found in Vienna, June 2019

Hello Carnifex,

Yes this is probably Nemopoda nitidula. But at altitude the sibling species N. pectinulata can also be found. For the exact differences there is a great book online available:

And for habitus photo's you can go to:

Kind regards,

Wow, these are great resources. Thanks for the links!

The front bristles on the katep. are barely visible, but the spines on the inner trochanter of the male should be distinctive.
As the pair was mating, one can assume the female is of the same species :-)

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
