I don't want to appear greedy (after
B. chalybata and
B. nigra) - but looking into "Families of flies with three pulvilli", I end up with
Beris morrisii rather than
B. chalybata again. Where is my mistake? 11. June 2026 in our garden in Rheinbachnear Bonn/Germany, 210m above see level, huge forest nearby. About 6mm. Thank you for your help, Jörg

Wow, what a good luck. Tthis makes four species of
Beris from our garden -
B. chalybata,
B. morrisii,
B. nigra and
B. vallata. The latter I only know dead, from a spider's net from last year. (It is
B. vallata, or not?). Thank you so very much for your help, Jörg

It is
B. vallata - and I think it's a male. |t
