Thanks John. I'm totally unsure now if it's even Anthomyiidae or Heleomyzidae or ... ? Hope someone can help! |

John is just right, it is Anthomyiidae The arista seems long haired, the costal spines are strong, special before the costal break and the parafacial shows a dark spot (only in surtain lights) in the middle. It could be Hylemya variata, but some necessary details are not visible to make it 100% sure for me. Johanna |

Mainly by the shape of the cerci and in H. urbica the tibia are mostly yellowish / brown and in most cases they are black/dark brown in H. variata. Also...H. variata is far more common then H. urbica in the Netherlands / Belgium (based on collected male specimen). The female in my collection are collected at the same place as the male specimen and I have never collected both species (H. variata / H. urbica) at the same time. When I look at the specific environment where I collected both species, I can't find any preference in biotope between those species ....let's say, not yet.
