I got an unusual female of Dioctria in dune system in East Germany 11. July 2015 together with D. rufipes and D. hyalipennis. Wings are slightly brownish, much darker as in D. rufipes. Arista is as long as pedicel, much longer as in D. rufipes. Finally tomentum on pleura and scutum seems to be more intensive and antennal hump is higher as in females of D. rufipes I have. Is this still an variation of D. rufipes?
