Photograph taken on 5 October, 2015 on the dining table of my house, in urban environment, in Motril, Granada, Spain.
Immediate area of the Mediterranean coast.
Apparent size with wings, about 2 mm

Thanks for help!

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

John Carr, I appreciate your help very much.
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...

---

It could be considered enough to be called the "Camilla cf.nigrifrons"?
Thank you very much, Paul.

---

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

---

Unfortunately, this time the tiny fly was faster than me. Let me take the pictures, but not collect .... :|

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? ;)

---

Heh, heh. ;)
The referred Miguel has a lot of knowledge but very little time available, or is very difficult enlist their help. :|

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?? B)

Best wishes
José Marín.

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