Chlorops pumilionis (Bjerkander, 1778), Chloropidae, the most abundant Chlorops species in Europe, in this case a very dark specimen. Best characteristics for the identification are the distinctly darkened ends of fore tibia, very deep (= wide) gena (deeper than height of third antennal segment), completely black antenna. After my database 547 monographs and dissertations deal with this agricultural pest, 1026 publications altogether.
