 Hi,
This is another Empis of last weekend. The strong spinose bristles of the tibiae recall E. (Euempis) tessellata. However, I cannot see more than four scutellar bristles, so I feel uncertain about the species. Help is appreciated! Sundew

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
