It is very difficult to see, due to the light.
Do you remember the abdomen ?
was is greyish or yellowish ?

Well, I was afraid of that. I'm lost

The femora suggest fulvus, as does the antenna.
The general colouration suggest rusticus.

Using a dice is not very scientific, so this is where it ends for me.

The eyes are hairy, how could I have missed this a year ago ??
SO that suggests A. latistriatus. However, it looks completely different !
Any change you have a picture in which we can see a palpus laterally ?

Thanks

I'm getting more and more confused. This is a species you are not supposed to have in Spain.
Could you describe the habitat where it was found ?

Thanks

note there is no appendix to vein R4, and the linear callus both unusual for Atylotus. I think Theo has 2 names he is considering, either would be an exciting discovery. One is from the North and the other is an enigmatic Meditteranean oneWink

Habitat: very special one, very excepcional: an acid pond with Potamogeton natans, Scorpidium scorpioides, Utricularia minor, Carex lasiocarpa (very rare in Pyrenees) and C. limosa, Equisetum fluviatile, Menyanthes trifoliata, Drosera longifolia, and rotundifollia, rounded by Pinus uncinata... It is a very scarce place where also occurs relicted dragonflies tipical from boreal ecosystems, for example.
I have to come back soon and if necessary i will try to found the fly, if i found, so let me know...

OH MY GOD


Acid pond, that is what I'd love to hear !!

it is Atylotus plebejus (or just possibly sublunaticornis, need to work on that to be very sure: but that would be even more spectacular)

NEW for the IBERIAN PENINSULA.

No wonder I didn't think of it before !!!

Excellent work, excllent pics, my mistake last year.

I will come back to you on this.

I'm 99,8 % certain it is Atylotus plebejus, not sublunaticornis. The question is whether the hairs on occiput are white or black. In at least two pictures, they are clearly white. Picotverd might check the 'original' on this (or PM me I and will).
Great discovery, picotverd, it needs to be published !!
