Ouch, Gerard,
The family is wrong! Though you are excused, because until recently it was in Sciomyzidae. This is a species of
Pelidnoptera, probably
P. nigripennis, which is now placed in the family Phaeomyiidae. The completely darkened wings are a good character.
Another 'ouch'.
Pelidnoptera (at least
P. nigripennis) do not parasitise snails :o but millipedes. :D
Cheers,
