Hello,
this Cylindromyia is from August 5 from near Mölten in Südtirol (Alto Adige, Italia) on about 1000m. I tried the key, but I have diffulties to understand it. Is it possible to recognize the species? Perhaps C. intermedia or C. auriceps? Body length ist 6mm.
Thanks,
Michael

No, it isn't. It is a Clairvillia sp. Have a look at the apex of abdomen !
Can we get a close-up ?
Colour of palpus ?

Thank you for the quick correction. Here are some pictures of the abdominal apex an the mouth parts. I hope the quality is enough to see something.
Is there another possibility than Clairvillia biguttata? According to the Fauna Europaea there is only one other species, C. pninae, which seems to be of mediterranean distribution, and is perhaps not found in the alps.
Michael
