 Hello,
This Brachycera has been collected in a yellow pan trap in my garden (Concarneau, Brittany, France).
I have no idea of the family, any help is welcome.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.
