This fly also looks quite strange. The most similar flies seen by me here in Japan are Sciomyzids. |

I think you should look in the Chloropidae. Similar species in Western Europe are in Platycephala and are most often found in reed vegetations.

in the insect database there are two Platycephala sp records from Honshu island. Both were described in the late 1900s. The species are P. sasae and P. subelongata. There is very little reed in Japan, but a lot of bamboo. I observed this fly on a sasa bamboo, so I assume it is P. sasae but it could well be P. subelongata. Thx. |

Platycephala sasae Narchuk [= Nartshuk], 1973 (Chloropidae). Engl. translation of the Russian description in Ent. Review 52: 604-610. Redescription by Kanmiya (1982): Mem. ent. Soc. Wash. 11: 199-206 in 1-370. The larva develops in stems of Sasa spp. (Poaceae). The species is very similar to P. extensa Frey from the Philippines. |
