Hi, this is strange for me. Somehow it remainds me Odiniidae but I don't know. June 22.2009 Loviisa, Finland.

I think I set a Greek specimen aside under Odiniidae as well, but that one was in alcohol, so I did not see much of the colour patterns that are visible in this specimen.

I'd say Neoalticomerus formosus.

I would like to see this specimen: I have determined that there are 2 species of Neoalticomerus which have been mixed - it would be very useful to ad this to the range of localities.

Hi, this is best news for this summer so far :) As I understand not very common at all up here. Please Phil, send Your address in private and I will borrow the fly for closer examination.

Hi, I got mail from Phil. The species is dissected and identified for sure as formosus.
