Found a couple of days ago at Little Ayre, Muckle Roe, here in Shetland. I think it's a Psila sp. going by the look of it. The only one of those on my checklist is Psila humeralis (Zett.)..anybody confirm this? Only one photo..and that's a bit blurred  EDIT....Sciomyzidae added to headline!

I think it's not Psilidae! Maybe Sciomyzidae?
Sincerely yours Sara |

You know what Sara...I think you are right (never going to hear the end of this  ) DAMN!!!!Right forget all that guff I wrote about Psilids above..  TAKE 2:- I have one Sciomyzidae on my checklist..( which isn't correct anyway) but that one is Tetanocera robusta (Loew ) ...could this be it?? Regards  Roger  |

Well Sara I think it might be a photo of a Tetanocera arrogans (female) by Nikita Vikhrev taken in the region of Moscow somewhere (because it says so), other than that? Is it a trick question? But seriously (almost), I think my fly is a species of Tetanocera but I don't think it is ID'able from this photo. I might need to go back to that marshy field and try to find another one. Another wet ass beckons Regards R ger |

It is a Tetanocera. Male of Tetanocera robusta is easy to ID if we can see the right side of the abdomen tip, as its epandrium bears an asymmetrical process in this side.

Unfortunately the females shown on the first six pictures are not belonging to T. robusta. In robusta the occipital spot is not black but orange-yellow, the submedian stripes of mesonotum are very slender and blackish etc. I can not see all characters to decide to which species they belong but ferruginea fits best. |
