Hi,
I found some of these flies on a dead aspen in June and July 2022 in Germany, Saxony. I guess Strongylophthalmyia ustulata. Am I right or could it be another species?
Greetings, Marion

Best regards,

Hi Jürgen,
thank you for answer. I found this old thread
https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=53383
Psilidae I can´t exclude, but Strongylophthalmyia ustulata was the best matching species for me.
I observed the flies on a thick stem of a dead aspen. Most of the Psilidae larvae should be phytophagous on nonwoody plants.
Best regards, Marion

I agree, Strongylophthalmyia ustulata https://micropezi...my/term/55 and Krivosheina's 1982 key is at https://micropezi...fo/node/85
It would be most useful if you could also add this to iNaturalist then it will end up on GBIF where it will help complete the picture of its geographical distribution in Europe (https://www.gbif....es/1566830)
A good find.

Thank you very much for confirmation of Strongylophthalmyia ustulata and the links, Darwyn.
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with iNaturalist, but you can use the data with the photos. The pictures were taken in Germany, Saxony, Chemnitz, Harthau on 04.07.2022 (1), 28.06.2022 (2), 25.06.2022 (3) and 11.07.2022 (4).
Greetings, Marion

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
