Pseudotephritis (Ulidiidae). Found on or near dead trees? The single species we ahve in Europe lives on aspen. The name is certainly well applied. The European type species has more mottled wings and it is really Tephritis-like. So keep an eye on curiously flat 'Tephritis' walking and signalling with their wings on recently fallen aspen, where real tephritids are only occasionally found.

Thanks, you certainly know your flies. A new family for me. Checking a catalogue shows just 1 species likely to occur here: P. vau. Lots of dead trees and aspen in NB; this female (?) in my tent trap while hoping for tabanids  |

Indeed, a female of Pseudotephritis vau. I can send our recent paper on the whole tribe Myennidini worldwide, if you like, as pdf (~9 mb, in 3 parts, with a lot of pix).
