Hello,
Please don't be bothered by damage and spider silk found on my dead flies Sad. The remains of this one recall Palloptera cf. ustulata that Tony identified in an earlier thread of mine. Beside the matching hair / bristle arrangement there is also agreement in spurs occurring only at the tibiae of the middle legs. (Is this distinctive for Palloptera relatives?) Size and amount of wing shadows differ, however. So I guess this one could be Palloptera umbellatarum. What do you say?
