Hello !
I need help to identify this insect :
(Clic on the photo for a bigger size)
www.galerie-insecte.org/galerie/image/dos15/big/p7150003_filtere.jpg
Chavernoz Marina : France : 15 July 2006 : Croutoy (60)
Size : 8mm

I found it in my kitchen. I live between fields and humid forest in the north of France.
I think it is a Keroplatidae but I don't find lot of information about this family.

Can you help me ?

Thanks
Marina

Quick and dirty, for the moment: could be Cerotelion humeralis but these usually are somewhat bigger than 8 mm.

Ok, Paul. Thank you for your answer. I check the dimension of the orange mark behind my specimen and you are right ! I find about 11mm for the specimen.
On "Le monde des insectes" forum Littlebigfly thinks it should be Keroplatus sp. What do you think about this proposition ?

Thanks
Marina

Hello Paul
Cerotelion humeralis isn't in FE and not in "Catalog of the Keroplatidae
of the World (Insecta: Diptera) author Neal L. Evenhuis of the
Bishop Museum Bulletin in Entomology 13
Bishop Museum Press
Honolulu, 2006"

Perhaps listed as Rocetelion humerale (Zetterstedt, 1850) ...

Well, systematic changes happen all the time. I guess none of the books I consulted were up to date on this change. Wink

Hi, this specimen bother me a bit: Hutson and Akland say (in brithish Hanbook IX) "hind coxae blackish at base on outer surface"
And it's white here.
And here that in R humerale fore basitarsus/ for tibia should be around 2.

So i think it's Keroplatus sp., don't you?
