 Got an image of this tiny fly with striking hind-legs. There is also this strange "brush" on the tibia. Is the function of this brush known?

 A view of the face and a sharp one of the pleura would help to be sure as it seems to be a male of the rare Dioctria lateralis.

 Hi Mike, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the experts to confirm D. lateralis.
If I compare with Wolff et al, this male's legs and abdomen match quite perfectly:
- fore and mid leg completely (reddish) yellow
- hind tibiae mostly black
- hint tarsus brown (or black)
- hint metatars slightly [?] thickend [I think it's distinctliy thickened]
- abdomen black with distinct patches
I propose to edit the thread's title with "Dioctria lateralis?"

Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
