It seems this poor female is a difficult case! With Hackston’s key (https://sites.goo.../empididae) it was rather easy to get to subgenus Pararhamphomyia, but then the trouble begins... I cannot decide whether there is a single or a double row of dorsocentrals. I tried the Pararhamphomyia key by Frey (1922, https://core.ac.u...922836.pdf) in all directions but could not find a character combination of
- 1st and 2nd antennal segment yellow, legs yellow, halteres pale
- thorax grey, abdomen dark
- wings dark, broadened
- hind tibiae distinctly pennate, hind femora distinctly pennate especially ventrally, middle tibiae distinctly pennate dorsally, middle femora rather hairy than pennate.
So I am lost! What about you?
