And this could be the female B. varipes? Abdomen ventrally yellow, small spurs on tibia III, wings brownish... Greetings, Eric |

?? Females varioes / joahnnis / lanigerus are virtually impossible to tell apart, look for the thread on this topic using “forum search” Theo |

Yes, I've read a lot in the forum and a lot more in several keys and still I try to learn more of these interesting flies! What do you think of Haarto's descriptions in his key female: - Wing membrane grey, nearly hyaline: johannis if brownish -> - Dorsal and ventral side of abdomen dark: lanigerus - Ventral side abdomen distinctly paler than dorsal side: varipes Greetings, Eric |

As said ... good luck ! I am vey suspicious of so many female varipes, and so few males. That said, it is a statistical argument not apllicable to individual cases. I stick to males and pinned females. Theo |
