Hello, found in Hungary, 2023.May.
One of the Cheilosia-species, with:
- completely black legs
- completely bare eyes
I excluded Cheilosia nigripes, because it’s facial tubercle’s upper margin is absolutely not like this. There are two species left: vicina and antiqua. I can’t understand the difference in my key, so I don’t know which one is this. I would rather say antiqua, because vicina has more protruding facial tubercle, and the facial tubercle in this specimen is more similar to antiqua’s facial tubercle. But I’m absolutely not sure in this, could you help me please? What do you think? Is this a vicina or an antiqua?
