Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Bellardia viarum? -> B. vulgaris

Hi,
first of all, is this Bellardia? I am assuming B. viarum, but don't have any experience with this species so far. So I wonder if the bristle on the 4th segment is a discal one (or does it count as a 'misplaced' marginal?) and if so, if it is disctinctive enough for a species ID. Found in a garden in Vienna.

those are not discals. discals are above the marginals and nearer to an imaginary center line down the abdomen. with yellow palpi you are again looking at B. vulgaris but a female.
