Again Hi
In Chloropidae, usually we can see genitalia easily, in male and female too.
This is a kind of female genitalia in Osinella sp. (sorry for too bad my pictures)

And this is a mail genitalia in Osinella pusilla

It's my think! What do you think?? Smile
Sincerely yours
Sara

I see what you mean! Photos can be deceiving though, and the wing venation does look to fit Oscinella.

About wing venation and other characters I'm agree too, but about genitalia, that's difficult..!! I hope which it be Oscinella pusilla?
Sincerely yours
Sara

I couldn't say which species it is Sara, I read that the antennae and tibia colour separated it from O. frit but there seems also to be confusion with some of the species in this genus.

Some species of Chloropidae are difficult identification, for example
Females of genera Lasiosina and Meromyza are very difficult also if we poses males, the same with Aphanotrigonum. It is nearly impossible to identify Oscinella species, except some few species. No revision exists, and the variability of leg colour is very big, dependent on the temperature under which the larvae grew up. (For example in O. pusilla all of tibia(s) are yellow that mid and hind tibia have dark-brown spot in middle (part) it and etc…)
Main character about them is the same of male genitalia….

There certainly seems to be no break in the costal vein near the humeral cross vein, so that eliminates my suggestion of Camillidae.Sad

Well it has all been very educational anyway Nigel, I now know what to look for should I come across a Camillidae. We have not got that family in the Gallery yet!

I found that one too jorge, I was looking for a fly I had and thought it might be Camilla but I only have one shot from above the head frontal view. The pattern on top of the head looked very similar to Camilla, but I decided in the end mine was Piophilidae.
