While I saw studying the fly, its right-hand rear leg became detached. Here is a shot showing it from behind and from in front. I have great difficult working out which setae are which! Best wishes, Martin Martin Cooper attached the following image:  [139.43Kb] |

I think Paregle audacula: Notopleuron area haired Very small orbitals present One stronger presutural acrostichal followed by rows of finer hairs Long and small proboscis To confirm for 100 % ID, a better look on the genitals is needed. But I am almost convinced this must be P. audacula. Johanna |

Thanks Johanna. I've saved a copy of the chaetotaxy drawings to study. I'll have a closer look at the genitals and if possible post some photos of them. |

I've redone some images covering the features mentioned already... Side thorax including notopleuron, though I think part of it may be obscured by the blurred end of the pin. Martin Cooper attached the following image:  [141.99Kb] Edited by Martin Cooper on 27-09-2014 00:28 |

... and genitalia. Does this show enough detail, or do I need to get the caustic soda ready? Martin Cooper attached the following image:  [146.64Kb] |

Thanks Johanna! There are no records for that species in my county of Suffolk on the UK National Biodiversity Network's Gateway, though that is probably due to under-reporting as few people submit records for Diptera. Best wishes, Martin |
