Hello,
is there " simple" way to distinguish wing venation Lauxaniidae vs. Anthomyiidae (there are several which appear tbe the same). Any paper you may reccommend to read or some tips.

Regards

Lothar


They are very similar. The anal vein of Lauxaniidae is usually (possibly always) incomplete, and there are slight differences around the tip of the subcosta.
