Chloropidae; Chloropinae: Meromyza femorata Macquart, 1835. In the upper picture the typical black tip of the palpus can be seen. As well the strongly swollen hind femur being 4 times thicker than the hind tibia is a reliable feature of this common species. Dactylis glomerata ist the only confirmed host grass. Junior synonyms are M. laeta Meigen, 1838 and M. rufescens von Roser, 1840.
