June 09, 2009, Naro-Fominsk, Moscow region, Russia. Body size 11 to 12 mm. A single male collected on flower buds of
Rubus idaeus. There's certain ambiguity with this species in Zaitzev (1994), since in the description it's indicated that proboscis reaches beyond apices of
cx3 (and it does), while in the key below
bilineata is included in the group with shorter mouthparts.

This one is showing the prettiness of fungus gnats!!! Thanks for sharing with us, Black. I am wondering where your "long snout no. 1" is hidden?
so long,
