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
