 Hello,

www.galerie-insecte.org/galerie/image/dos349/big/5dt46462.jpg
Pierre Duhem : France : Bessans : 73480 : 08/08/2024
Altitude : 1680 m - Taille : 6-7 mm
Réf. : 349311

I can't find a match for this critter in the Lauxaniidae family, with yellow head, scutellum and abdomen, grey thorax and dark apex of antenna.
Does this ring a bell for some of you?
Thanks in advance.
Pierre Duhem

 Not Minettia because it lacks a postsutural intra-alar bristle. Not Pherbellia because it has 3 pairs of postsutural dorsocentrals and convergent postocellar bristles.

 Check in Heteromyzinae, which tend to lack the costal spines typical of Heleomyzidae.

 The bicolored and elongated postpedicel and also the anepisternal seta exlude this specimen from Heleomyzidae ...
