I small fly I found yesterday, April 24, 2025, in ameadow in Minas de Riotinto (Huelva). It resembles Minettia fasciata, but with difficult groups like Minettia I am never sure. Thanks!

Minettia fasciata speciies-group is correct and I think it's a female Minettia subvittata: "Tergite 3 with a row of long black setae" from: Bernhard MERZ (2004): Revision of the Minettia fasciata species-group REVUE SUISSE DE ZOOLOGIE 111 (1): 183-211; mars 2004 Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

Thanks, once again, Eric!  Female M. subvittata it is.  I will try to find this paper you mention. Edited by Andre Burgers on 26-04-2025 18:13 errare humanum est sed perseverare diabolicum |
