A Crumomyia, I think, from SW Sweden tosay. About 5 mm and perhaps there are not so many species in this group of this size? Is genera correct and is it possible to say anything about which species it can be?

Perhaps C. notabilis - or are there any species to confuse it with?

A number of species, even. The pictures do not suffice, sorry.

Ok, thanks! I understand that it is not an easy group.
It was according to Hackman (1965) and espicially the narrowed pointed foreceps with apical denticles that I suggested notabilis (he also mentions the distinct clouded cross-veins as typical). It is not easy to get a good picture on the foreceps, but here is a not so good. But perhaps it doesn´t make it clearer .....

Based on the genitalia it might indeed be
notabilis, but
rohaceki cannot be ruled out completely. If the anepimeron is completely pruinose, it is
notabilis.

Many thanks for help!
Anepimerin seems to be completely pruinose. I will try and get a picture on it later.

A picture on anepimeron. It is not heavily pruinose but there is a clear contrast to the unpruinose parts of anepisternum.
