Trying to identify some Ephydridae I caught last weekend from bare ground near some small, acid fens (Belgium, Postel). Some nice dolichopodidae here (
Hydrophorus bipunctatus and
litoreus) and
Ochthera manicata, but some other ephydridae got me stumped (using the keys from Drake and Bei-Bienko).
This one is a Scatella I presume, but I get no further - paludum, maybe ?. I see some pre-sutural acrostichals (last one the strongest), one pre-scutellar pair, hair-like pre-sutural dorsocentrals and 2 stronger post-suturals. Tinted wings with some light spots.
Any help and suggestions ?
Thanks,
Joris
