Hello, I found this 8 mm male last night at our door lantern. Because of the strongly hairy eyes I first thought of a Polietes, but it seems to be a Helina. At first the abundant H. evecta comes into mind, but this fly seems to have bare aristae. Possibly the rare Helina annosa?

Hallo Jürgen, I think Helina is correct but we cannot decide whether it's evecta or annosa: Manual CE Muscidae (Gregor et al) annosa: "Eyes densely long haired, arista long plumose..." evecta: "Eyes densely long haired in both sexes, arista long plumose..." and in the key: " - Hind femur with strong anteroventrals confined to distal half; scutellum almost bare ventrally => annosa - Hind femur with a complete row of strong anteroventrals confind to distal half; scutellum setulose ventrally => evecta " Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

Thanks a lot, Eric! Then I remembered it wrong, that the arista in H. annosa is bare.
