Hello everyone,

I found this 9 to 10 mm large Gonia today on a dry meadow in southwest Germany. Can the species be identified?

Greetings Siggi

Hello Siggi, I think it's a Gonia vacua, too.

I'd say divisa. Hairs on parafacial very lomg, dust bands on tergites very narrow.

Hi Eric, Theo,
on April 9, 2023 I found a fly in the same place that was determined to be Gonia divisa. Look here: https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=109338
So that could be a good fit and I now write Gonia cf. divisa. This will be the best.

Thanks and greetings,
Siggi
