Why did you say Phaeomyiid fly !
It is Suillia !!! A male !!! I see a dot before anterior crossvein ? Isn't it ?
If yes, so Suillia bistrigata (Lw) Grin

I told it looks like a phaeomyiid... and it really looks. But when we see the fly carefully it turns out to be a Heleomyzid. Wink Phaeomyiid has no vibrissae neither spiny costa neither strong bristles on scutum. But in the field I thought it because I used to find Phaeomyiid these days at final afternoon. A pity... I would like to see again the Pelidnoptera!

And you are right. it is a dot Wink Is this Suillia rare?

yet another Heleomyzidae. they seem to be on this site a lot, surely that is a queue for someone to write a new key? or to publicise an existing one?

I have lot of Heleomyzids I would like to put a name too.

What keys should I be using?

Ok Jorge,
collect plz more, maybe more unrecorded species will be found ??? - maybe a new one: S. prope lusitanica or S. jorgi will be found Wink
Concerning the Suillia key, I use my private: Cogan + Czerny + Gorodkov + Whiters, including my experiences.
Concerning the Great Britain Collin, 1943 + Withers, P., 1987, and Gorodkov translations (http://books.google.com/books?id=dsoUAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA510&lpg=PA510&dq=Gorodkov+helomyzidae&source=bl&ots=FjuaVFk8a0&sig=axYavUgmvZW0yks79H2U8o5-l60&hl=pl&ei=TWC6S5KxIuSHOOuBkaEL&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Gorodkov%20helomyzidae&f=false) could be use
I have to write a new one to the Europaean species ... with Phil Wink
