Thanks for your answer :P



1. There are 8 lateral marginal setae on scutellum

2. I have been looking the mid leg of L. nigra to compare, here: http://www.spessa...leg3a.html and it looks similar.

On my fly mid basitarsi there is:
- one apical ventral setae
- one apical posterior setae
(any of them extends downwards over and close to the basitarsus)
(when you say "metatarsi" do you refer to hind tarsi?: there are only a row of hairs there)

3. There are several rows of setae on mesoscutum (more than the usual for calyptrata) and it’s hard to say which rows are achrosticals, there could be some long setae in there ... or not

4) Do you know which sex it is?
