I think this species is represented in the gallery, but I am not confident.

---

Another view of the same fly. I like Micropezids a lot.

---

Looks like a male Calobata ephippium to me.

---

You are right, Andre, Neria ephippium (F.)

---

Andre, Valery

Thx for your help with this and the other thread.

In the gallery one should either transfer Neria sp to Neriidae or unite Micropezidae with Neriidae.

---

Correct, called Neria now... I forgot for that moment. Too lazy to look it up, 'cause I knew something changed :D

---

Neria is a genus name, no familyname. Belongs to the Calobatinae, Micropezidae.
Neriidae is nothing, as far as I know..

---

Xespok and Andre,

You could not be more wrong. The name of the family Neriidae is based on the genus Nerius and this is a valid family in its own right. The genus Neria belongs to the Micropezidae.

---

Paul you are completely right. :D

---

for some really spectacular Neriidae take a look here http://furumusi.a...riidae.htm
Japanese is easy.... :o

---

You can see even more spectacular photos of the very same species on this website taken by the famous photograher........ me:)

But I did not realize that Neriidae comes from Nerius, a genus which I have never heard of. So one mystery less left.

Tell us your other fly mysteries. :)

Gabor, I saw your gallery (almost) entirely. :P Both galleries. :)
