I just finished dissecting spiders epigyne.

I already know it is pluvialis because the pre- and postgonites match the drawings in Michelsen's work. Plus, procellaris is not listed for Germany. However, i've seen several posts here at diptera.info where a similar looking Anthomyia from Germany was identified as procellaris sans genitalia.

I figure that it is either pluvialis or i am not seeing it correctly. I wanted your opinion about this. Tristram is always helpful but in this case, i want your opinion. I want to see if procellaris is here or not. So far, i cannot find official records. I only know that Schumann listed it, then Ziegler is supposed to have found it in a box along with pluvialis. Yet it is still not listed for Germany.

I've seen similar Anthomyia for three years now at my balcony and i always insist that it is pluvialis based only on instinct. Now i prove it. Thank you, Johanna.

I also Thank Tristram but i really wanted Johanna's opinion because i want to prove or disprove that procellaris is here. I will continue the search ...
