Hi,
Here is a Dioctria from southwest Germany, Black Forest region, eating a male of the extremely frequent Leptoterna dolabrata (Miridae). With the key I got to D. rufipes according to, e.g., the lack of dusting over the hind coxa and yellow hairs on the occiput. As this species is new for me, I would like someone to confirm my ID or to supply a more suitable name. Thank you so much!
Regards, Sundew

To Reinoud: your website "Roofvliegen van Nederland en België..." is really great and a very good complement to Geller-Grimm's keys! It led me also to Dioctria rufipes, though the size of the antennal hump is difficult to estimate. The 1st and 2nd femora, however, show no dark markings. So is my ID okay?

I am sure you are right : ) Thanks for the compliment btw... The antennalhump is prominent enough, quite often D. hyalipennis has spotless femora 1 & 2 too... but also a more pollinose/dusted mesonotum and a more complete silverstripe.
Greetings,

Reinoud

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
