Hello! I found this muscid fly in southern Sweden on 24/9 2014. Is it possible to identify it? Johan Edited by Johane on 17-09-2014 13:30 |

If you succeed in attaching the image. If it remains problematic, consult the FAQ.

I found that I had spaces in the filename, so hopefully...

Looks like L. erythrocephala. It is very small (3-4 mm) ?

It is between 4,5 to 5 mm long. What other characters are important for determination? Did you mean erythrocera instead of erythrocephala? Edited by Johane on 14-09-2014 14:18 |

I tried to indentify it using d'Assis Fonseca's key. I came to L. verna based on the combination of dark femora and anterodorsal bristle on mid tibia. One swedish species is missing in the key: L. fuscitibia . Does anyone know how to recognize it.

I found a photo of L. fuscitibia and it seems like it has dark tibia. I guess that is what fuscitibia means. Therefore I will change the title to Lispocephala verna. |

Sorry, I wrote erythrocephala but this is indeed erythrocera. I exclude L. verna exactly because I couldn't see any ad on t2. I still can't see any on the enlarged picture, just a kind of blurred shadow.

The bristle has been broke off and lies alongside the surface of the tibia. You can see a thin black line on the photo which is the bristle. I should have thought of that when I uploaded the photos... This photo shows the left tibia and here the bristle is clearly visible. Johane attached the following image:  [188.18Kb] |

Ah, all is clear now. So L. verna is OK.
