Hi
This Antho was caught 20. v 2011 north of Copenhagen. To give you an idea of the habitat it was caught along with Odontomyia tigrina, Prionocera subserricornis and Alliopsis silvestris.
I am having no luck with Ackland's key to the British Anthomyiidae as I find nothing to match the genitalia. All in all it's a pretty anonymous fly with no particulars to the genitalia. Sternite 5 is without any specialized hairing or bristles.
The antennae are missing (was the arista pubescent og plumose?). When I try to key it, I end up rather unsatisfactorily with Delia :(
Bodylength some 5 mm.
Regards,
