The specimens indeed have two pairs of dorsocentral setae and the arista has rather longish hairs dorsally. As far as I could tell (the specimens are at work and I am at home now for almost two weeks) the brachypterous specimen was a male and there were males among the other specimens as well. The fully winged specimens do not have really large wings, true, the tips just extend over the tip of the abdomen. I have not yet checked Hollman-Schirrmacher.
