Good evening,
again a bad photo of a Heleomyzidae. I think this time it indeed truely an Acantholeria cineraria female.
It has been collected in France ion 27-vii-1980 in the Alps at an altitude of 1530m in a malaise trap.

Under the microscope the end of the abdomen is indeed very typical. It is absolutely not so nice on my terrible photo. As far as I know the genus has not been recorded from France yet. The label says Aile. France . Etes Alpes. It doesn't mean much to me!

It is not yet published but recorded (a species was here ID as
A. vockerothi , see at: http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=18560. A paper is in preparation). The species you pinned could be
A. cineraria op
A. dentitibia !

My key, from Laci Papp, can't separate the females of the two species. Also with Czerny it is impossible. Can you?

Etes Alpes should be read Htes Alpes (Hautes Alpes, 05). I don't know any spot named Aile, but there is a chemin de l'Aigle in 05200 Orres.

Pierre, thanks a lot for your message. Possibly or rather likely you are right with the Htes Alpes. I will check it later today!

Pierre, you were right, it is Htes Alpes. I checked it. And the label says more: Aile Froide (??)
cheers,
