Hi, This is a female Lauxaniid from Rudolstadt, Thuringia, seen in July. Can it be named Minettia cf. flaviventris? There is a rather similar one in the gallery. Thanks for help, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [166.86Kb] Edited by Sundew on 22-09-2011 13:22 |

This specimen does not seem to have a Presutural dorsocentral bristle so Minettia longiseta would be a better bet Nice pictures did you keep the specimen? Edited by Mark-uk on 20-09-2011 13:02 |

So this would be my third M. longiseta after http://www.dipter...d_id=19604 and http://www.dipter...d_id=21897  . Is the lacking presut dc the only decisive character? I find the abdomen of this fly much more striped and yellow; however, I'm not familiar with the allowed variability.The specimen is hopefully well and not caught by a spider. I do not collect except digitally  . |
