Hi, is this a Milichiid? 3 mm long, came to light on a steppe near Aggtelek. First I thought it for a Sophaeroceridae, but wing and palps are different.

Looks like Phyllomyza, but we need Irana to confirm its identity.

Yes, Phyllomyza. I think they like steppe habitats. The last photo is really nice, I would appreciate it very much if I could use it on my Milichiidae site.

Dear Irina, You can use all of my photos any time. Currently I'm without camera (it is in the service shop) but when I get it back I'll make microcope-photos of the specimens I collected, to find out which exact species they belong to :)

Regards, Walter

Great, thanks Walter.
To identify the species it would be first necessary to know whether the specimen is male or female and if male have an exactly lateral shot of an antenna and a better view of the palpus. I have uploaded the photo to http://milichiida...omyza-live
