Hello,
I think this should be Ogcodes. Is it possible to say more?
Data:
11.7.2008
near Furth im Wald, Bavarian Forest, Germany.

Ingrid

This is a member of Acroceridae, but not
Ogcodes, as the antennae sit close to the vertex and not close to the mouth margin. With the key in Weinberg & Bächli (1997)
https://www.googl...VvVoMLvxcl I arrive at
Paracrocera orbicula that is often included in
Acrocera (see
https://diptera.i...d_id=74358)

Another question:
Is the valid Name now Acrocera orbiculus?

What is valid ? Most recent authors do not accept Paracrocera as a genus.

In their paper of 2002 (
https://www.googl...sIyRdqSHjs) Weinberg & Bächli accept the argumentation by Nartshuk (2000) and agree that
Paracrocera is a junior synonym of
Acrocera. So
Acrocera orbiculus is correct.
