Looks like Vermileonidae. Did you collect this one? |

Obrigado Jorge. The only species of Vermileonidae on my island is Lampromyia canariensis. Today I have taken two dead flies in a water tank.   |

According to the Stuckenberg's article on Lampromyia: http://www.zfmk.d...BB48H7.PDF in page 77 it appears this info: median vitta of mesonotum broad, dar, mat, not divided longitudinally by a pale midline stripe; costal cell conspicuously dark smoky brown. And also conspicuous greyish pruinose bands on abdomen... so it should be L. canariensis. Also the antennae profile fits the one in the article with the specimen you sent to me kindly. Thanks. |
