Hello flycatchers, My first post on DI ! She was buzzing in my ears at work and I like to know who annoys me. OK for Dolichopodidae. Could it be a Dolichopus ungulatus ? Note that the tip of the left wing is broken.

I do not see setae on hind tarsus. I'd say Hercostomus or Poecilobothrus sp., female.

Hello, Thanks Igor. What are the main criteria to separate these two genus ? I will look if I have other photos showing these points. Regards, Yann |

Poecilobothrus has always purple spot on mesonotum laterally, Hercostomus - rarely.

Thank you. My other pictures show nothing better or very conclusive. |
