Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Sepsid without dark wing spot

Hello,
I try another time to present you a member of the Sepsidae. This one has no dark spot on the wings, therefore it could be another genus than
Sepsis itself. I am curious to hear your opinion!
Location is Berlin in September.
Thanks, Sundew

Without the wing spot it will be a
Themira

Wing slightly darkened at apex, I think it is Nemopoda nitidula

Two experts - two different suggestions... After a close look to all gallery pics of the two genera I tend to join Nikita's opinion but shall keep
Themira in mind.
Many thanks to both of you, Sundew

Pale legs, most likely
Nemopoda.

My vote goes to
Nemopoda - very probably
N. nitidula, but it is not possible to be 100% sure without a collected (male) specimen.

Well, it seems that Phil is outvoted this time and
Nemopoda has won the match. I am highly pleased and grateful to all,
Sundew
