No, this i not S. opaca. From the first image it is clear that the ocellar setae are placed next to the ocellar triangle rather than on it. This specimen has four rows of acrostichal setae and that leaves a small group of very similar species, of which I am certain of only one that it will occur in NE France: S. quadricincta. There are four other species, that I think only occur further south In Europe (S. maghrebi, S. parallela, S. laevatrispina and S. canrilsensis).

Maybe Andrey Ozerov can tell more.

I haven't found this species in Fauaeur, but i've found Sapromyzosoma quadricincta (Becker 1895), is it this species Paul ??

Sapromyzosoma is a subgenus of Sapromyza.

This should indeed be S. laevatrispina.
