I saw this sphaeroceridae on 18th August 2022 in Den Helder, Netherlands attracted to light. Does someone know which species is this?

Thanks a lot.

Greetings,
Mario Renden

From what I can see here I would suggest Minilimosina female, possibly around 'fungicola'. Are the apical scutellars the same length as the scutellum?

I am not sure where I can find the apical scutellars. I have added one more picture. Hopefully the apical scutellars are on it and identification to species level will be possible.

The apical scutellars are at the top of the scutellum (middle part of hind border).

Something went wrong when adding an additional picture of which I thought should show the scutellum in more detail. But, through my micropscope I couldn't find any long hairs on the scutellum. I now have added a picture which appears to show the absence of hairs on the scutellum, but I can't guarantee they haven't been broken and disappeared.

From this I would just go for Minilimosina .sp

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
