This keys out well to L. alma and I have erythrocera and falculata turning up fairly frequently at the moment; assuming I'm right and just for interest, is the yellowish colour on the side of the abdomen, which neither of the other two have, characteristic of this species?

As you can see here http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=43337 also L. falculata can have yellowish sides of the abdomen.
Best wishes, Niels-Jan Dek |

Thanks Niels-Jan, I will certainly re-check my specimens on your advice. Do you trust the pattern on the terminal front tarsal segment to separate these two? This specimen definitely has a great contrast between the dark, pale based terminal segment and the yellow of the others. I appreciate that genitalia examination would be best. Regards Phil Porter |
