I found this little Conopidae on Jacobaea vulgaris. Length estimated 6-7 mm. Dusty gray abdomen, legs too. Short cheeks, very long snout, double bent. I tried to find the genus with the key of Marc van Veen, but unfortunately there are details that I can not see on the pictures. Is there someone who can help me or do I have to accept Conopidae?

I tried on insecte.org and they said it might be a Zodion spec.?
I thought that this genus did not have a double bent snout?

Thank you very much Jeremy. You confirm what they said on insecte.org.

I can't find out how about the long double bent snout, but I suppose the pictures aren't good enough to say more about it.

It is quite clear in, say, the second picture: first bend very close to the base, second at about 2/3 of the whole proboscis.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
