Dear forum,

regarding the explanations of you, Stephane, in this thread:
http://www.dipter...d_id=52380,
concerning antennae colour and width of cell R4+5,
this black-legged Muscina should be M levida, right?

aug, 25th, 2015, northern upper rhine rift, Southwest Germany, Hessen, 9mm, near compost pill, resting in the sun.
Thanks in advance for taking a look at this.

Best regards, Thorsten

Yes, it is levida. The medial vein is hardly bent at apex (usually, it is all the same more pronounced, even if not as much as the others species).
