Rhinophoridae are for me very difficult to identify, but this fly has at least a pair of median discal setae on T3 and T4, so if it was
Stevenia, it could be
S.atramentaria? (in Spain is only known
S.deceptoria and
S.umbratica but
S.atramentaria is recorded from France)
(Spain: Girona: Beuda, on a leaf, 28.v.2023)

Excellent pics and it can hardly be anything else !
So, is this Pireneos or low altitude ?

Thanks, Theo, pics could be better. Is in the Pre-Pyrenees, at 400 masl.
Reading the key again, atramentaria diagnostic character should be "lateral vertical seta well developed, clearly longer than the postocular setae" .... but setae on face is very difficult to me to understand.
And microtrichosity is equal to priuinosity?
Is it a male?

Sorry, just noticed: I do not agree with female, it is a male.
