I just found out that I had another acrocerid kept in a box. I don't remenber when I discovered it but I know that it was in a pond dead.
I don't know if its appearence is the right one or if it suffered some damage because of the water.

What species does this belongs to?
Thanks

Astomella curviventris ???? Frown Shock See here:
http://www.faunedefrance.org/bibliotheque/docs/E.SEGUY(FdeFr13)Dipteres.pdf

but A. curviventris is a synonym for A. hispaniae... and this is very different to another Astomella... awkward (maybe a species with strong sexual dimorphism.)

venation is typical for A. curviventris!!! Where did you spot this??? in the same place of another Astomella? Frown

Fabulous!! I'm in awe!

Dr. Evert Schlinger agrees with Astomella too. Grin But for species it is needed the specimen.
