Hello, Ben!

About Tachydromia : In the "Checklist of the diptera of the Netherlands" (Paul L.Th. Beuk) there is among 12 Tachydromia sp. no T. elegans and Tachydromia ranges there under Hybotidae, so better wait for the expert himself to give his opinion.


Thanks for your help. I just posted a very small Empidae in another thread, but that was still quite large compared to these tiny flies. They don't resemble much the Empids, so I think they really belong to another family.

BTW: If I correctly translate 'Tachydromia' into 'fast runner', this would be a very appropriate name!
