Hello! A fly from tonight at 0 ?C at our house (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Length about 10 mm. Phaonia sp. again? Thanks! Larger picture (149 KB): http://www.foto-u...ans_W2.jpg P.S.: I was wondering, that the Nematocera this night were not presented by Trichoceridae or Mycetophilidae, but mostly Limoniidae: http://insektenfo...ntid=29583 Juergen Peters attached the following image:  [42.09Kb] Edited by Juergen Peters on 07-01-2008 01:12 Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Kahis, can you suggest a species? Since this species occurs in winter, it is most likely present in the Finnish fauna. The hairy eyes, the reddish tip of the scutellum and the dark legs with the slightly lighter femora should narrow it down to a handful of species.

I tried to read the key for females. The best match seems to be Ph. zugmayeriae. Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |

Wing cross-veins seems strongly infuscated, fore tibia with post. setae, no strong pre ac, I think it is a female P. tuguriorum. P. zugmayeriae usualy has 3 post dc, more yellow on thorax (humeri, scutellum, wing base), 1 pre ac etc. Stephane. |
