Again in a tunnel (15-12-2009, Belgium). Are they males and females of
Scoliocentra villosa ?
What features are you looking at to go to that species ?

first species: mesopleuron, hypopleuron and both notopleurals area hairy !
second species: 1 vibrissa with one additional, orbitals typical for Heleomyza - both very big and at the same size !
