Hello,
unfortunately, this is is the unique image that I have from NE Turkey. Can it be anthomyzid species? Muhabbet

For those interested in the european species of Chyliza, you might like to know there is an introduced American species, Chyliza leguminicola that was recorded from Denmark last year. It does resemble the species illustrated above but has much smaller eyes and extensively darkened femora. The paper also includes a key to all known European species of Chyliza, which seems to lead to the C. leptogaster/C. nova couplet for the specimen depicted above.

The paper can be downloaded from THIS page.
