Photo taken near Reading, UK, on 2012-04-24. I think this might be a male Hylemya vagans. Is this correct? tristram attached the following image:  [172.51Kb] Edited by tristram on 18-07-2013 21:15 |

On this photo I nearly can see if the arista is indeed long haired, what suggest Hylemya, so maybe a crop to confirm it. If so….Hylemya seems right, but if it is indeed H. vagans, I can’t say for sure, because the male of H. urbica also can have the tibia very yellowish / brownish. I need to see the present or absent (H. vagans) of the subapical ad seta on the midfemur and if the occiput is bare (H. vagans) or not. So I have doubt between H. vagans and H. urbica (both common) H. variata mostly has the tibia more brownish / black (less common) Johanna Edited by javanerkelens on 17-07-2013 22:37 |

This contrast-enhanced blow-up does seem to show the presence of long hairs on the aristae. I'll put it down as a Hylemya sp. Thank you, Johanna. tristram attached the following image:  [26.11Kb] Edited by tristram on 18-07-2013 19:23 |
