Ephydridae, Notiphila I think. With my key, I stop at Notiphila riparia with the antennae partly reddish... Edited by Stephane Lebrun on 13-11-2011 11:05 Stephane. |

With your guidance I edit the title, hoping that some other specialist also wants to give us their opinion. Except dissenting opinion, I guess, as Notiphila riparia, I can upload to gallery. Best regards. |

Wait for an expert confirmation please. I just have red in another key that Notiphila aquatica is very close to N. riparia : the difference is in the tibiae that rather brown than yellow (especially the fore tibia). It seems it could be the case for your fly. Stephane. |

It seems it could be the case for your fly. Okay. I acknowledge that I am ignorant for identification. I just think I can do the photos. So I always ask and you respect the opinion of experts. thank you very much |

Antennae yellow completely, face with rather strong hairs, fore tibiae yellow, hind tibiae with black band, eye-to-cheek ratio more than 5:1, if i see midtibia colour yellow correctly here - then it is N.riparia.  |

Many thanks for your detailed explanations. I am ignorant to identify. But I understand that the parameters that you point out, leads to the conclusion that if Notiphila riparia. With this conclusion I edit the title and confirmation. So other experts, may also give their opinion. Much obliged. Regards from the south of Spain. |
