This male fly is only 2,6 mm. First I thought it might be Rhinophoridae, because it has no swing - more a stiff appearance. But perhaps it is Muscidae-Hydrotaea species or Anthomyiidae? Thanks for any help with this one. With regards, Klaas Picture one Klaas attached the following image:  [119.66Kb] Edited by ChrisR on 30-11-2008 17:34 |

Indeed, no Rhinophoridae. SHould be very obvious to the experts, this one. Theo |

Isn't it a nice row of meral bristles that I can see on the 1st picture ? Stephane. |

In that case, M only slightly bent, almost straight, ovipositor pincer-like and small size, maybe Cinochira atra (Tachinidae) ?

Thank you Stephane and Theo These pictures are not my best work, but with some 'photoshopping' i destillated some more details of meron and head. Perhaps it contributes the suggestion of Stephane?

I'm convinced this is Cinochira atra, but I suggest you to change the tiltle of your subject to get a confirmation. 
Stephane. |

My god, totally missed it. No doubt, Stephane is right. Just to be sure, can we see the abdominal tip from a dorsal point of view ? There should be a small pair of piercers present (as it seems to be a female ?) Theo |

That's weird because I have looking at these photos and thinking "It could be a tachinid but ... naaa ... can't be!". Would be nice to have these for the gallery if they are confirmed  |

Theo, from tip of abdomen i have no better image then what is showed allready. Some more info: It is found in a small forrest with Fraxinus and Quercus near streaming water, on a dead log of Fraxinus at the ground. I can't do much more, so i hope a brave dipterologist may tackle this one  Klaas |

I think it is beyond reasonable doubt that this is Cinochira atra. KLaas, could you please PM me the date and locality ? SO far, about 5 records known from the Netherlands. Theo |
