This Clusiid was collected in a malaise trap in the North East of the Netherlands between 10 and 16 of May.
Can anyone tell me more about the genus and/ or species, or direct me to literature to identify them?
Greetings, Gerard

Clusioides, and, IMHO, Clusioides ruficollis Meigen, but I am not, in fact, a specialist...

Hi Gerard,

You could try:

"Stubbs, A.E., 1982. An identification guide to British Clusiidae.? Proceedings & Transactions of the British Entomological and Natural History Society 15: 89-93."

Hi Gerard,

Or a more recent key to Clusiodes:

Owen Lonsdale & Stephen A. Marshall, 2007. Redifinition of the genera Clusiodes and Hendelia (Diptera: Clusiidae: Clusiodinae), with a review of Clusiodes.-- Studia dipterologica 14(1): 117-159.
