I just found out that I had another acrocerid kept in a box. I don't remenber when I discovered it but I know that it was in a pond dead.
I don't know if its appearence is the right one or if it suffered some damage because of the water.
What species does this belongs to?
Thanks
location: Barcelos, Portugal
date: unknown
PS:
For Jorge: e esta hein? :)

Astomella curviventris ???? :| :o See here:
http://www.faunedefrance.org/bibliotheque/docs/E.SEGUY(FdeFr13)Dipteres.pdf
but A. curviventris is a synonym for A. hispaniae... and this is very different to another Astomella... :S (maybe a species with strong sexual dimorphism.)
venation is typical for A. curviventris!!! Where did you spot this??? in the same place of another Astomella? :|
Fabulous!! I'm in awe!

Dr. Evert Schlinger agrees with Astomella too. :D But for species it is needed the specimen.
