Ephydridae. Compare Psilopa nitidula in the gallery. There are many other European species not in the gallery. |

At least we know the family to which it belongs. I've seen and compared those identified as Psilopa nitidula there in the gallery. No doubt they are similar. But I'm not able to determine their identity. Edit the title with your proposal, waiting for another specialist also want to give us feedback, Best wishes Jose Marin. |

A friend tells me the possibility that it could be small fly Camilla nigrifrons. Any thoughts on this? Cheers |

Seems quite well possible, though there may be more MEditerranean species...

Sure. If you still have the specimen I'd be happy to confirm it later.

The friend who suggested their possible identity, is preparing me the information about the genus Camillidae of which it is known in the Iberian peninsula. In moment availability of in this information, I will provide. Best wishes Jose Marin. |

That would not be Miguel, would it?

The friend who informed me, only known me through the forum Infojardín where intervenes nicknamed Rufus. Lately it has been pretty dedicated to small flies, particularly drosophilae, and on several occasions has provided very interesting information. Regarding Camillidae species existing in the Iberian peninsula, this is the information you have provided me: In Spain we have a single genus in Camillidae, with 6 species. We used the following characteristics to reach our ID: - acutipennis: discarded because its wings end in a sharp angle - atrimana: discarded for the same reason as acutipennis - fuscipes: discarded because its femur 1 is never black, at most partially darkened - glabra: discarded for the same reason as fuscipes - nigrifrons: wings without sharp angle and femur 1 black, like my specimen. - sabroskyi: can't find any info about this species, described by Papp in 1982 Is this reasoning correct?? Best wishes José Marín. |

Hmm, I'd need to check my literature. I should have Papp's paper somewhere.
