I think that Hebecnema is correct. have you tried keying it to vespertina?


Thanks John and Nini. I've looked at a 1921 key by Malloch on the North America species in this genus. This fly could be H. vespertina but the key says that the abdomen should have a "very distinct dorsocentral vitta" . There's a vitta of sorts on the abdomen but I'm not sure I'd call it "very distinct"
