This one reminds me of an anthomyiid, but I still don't know how to separate this family from other similar families. location: Barcelos, Portugal date: 2007/12/31

Sorry for bumping this, but I was still hoping someone could name it. |

I don''t think it is possible to name this without more details of the chaetotaxy, and being a female makes it more difficult. For example is the arista plumose? How many katepisternal setae are there? What are the acrostichal setae like? Is there an anteroventral seta on the mid tibia? I could fill this space with many more questions. If you think (from the photo) that the arista are plumose then it is a Hylemya species. The general appearannce of Anthomyiidae is no guide to identity I am afraid. |

Thank you for your input Michael, I understand the difficulties. I don't think the arista are plumose. You can see them zoomed here:   |

That eliminates Hylemya, perhaps it is Anthomyia (not the black and white group, but liturata group) or Lasiomma seminitidum. Nice photos though! |
