Jan, Sciomyzid is my family. This fly is not.

Hi Nikita, Do you have any idea yet to which family this specimen belongs? I'm curious about the outcome. Jan Willem van Zuijlen |

I think that a new picture illustrating the costal break (or its non-existence) would be helpful to lure further determinators. |

1+2 dc, costal break seems absent, arista isn't apical as it looks on photo. My best idea - some Lauxaniid. Edited by Nikita Vikhrev on 12-05-2025 20:08 Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

There are other crazy Lauxaniid like https://diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=9391 or https://diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=9659 Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Lauxaniidae seems like a good option now you mention it!

As soon as we have family, it is possible to suppose that it is Cerataulina longicornis Hendel, 1907 Hendel, 1907 - Neue und interessante Dipteren aus dem kaiserl. Museum in Wien. - Wiener Entomologische Zeitung 26(7-9): 236-237 Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

According to the original description of Cerataulina longicornis, the antennae are yellowish. Doesn't seem to fit.

Jan, I have to agree that it isn't Cerataulina longicornis Hendel, 1907. There is synonym of it: Calliclypeus boettcheri Frey, 1927 and there is drawing of it in Genera Insectorum 68, Taf. 2, Figs 37-39. At least it is similar, thus it is Lauxaniid.

Hi Nikita, The placement of the arista is different. I hope you will be able to find out more about this interesting looking specimen. Jan Willem van Zuijlen |
