Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Ectophasia crassipennis female?

Hi,
To discriminate between the females of Ectophasia crassipennis and E. oblonga, the bending of sternite 7 is crucial: E. crassipennis - sternite 7 bent forwards, E. oblonga - sternite 7 bent backwards a little at the end. Both species were present, and photographing this character is tricky; however, I tend to E. crassipennis concerning this female (seen in southern Brandenburg on 03.10.2015). What do you say?
Thanks for opinions, Sundew
