I suppose your fly belongs to the same species as mine from thread http://www.dipter...d_id=11887 that got no reply. At least they share the yellow abdomen. There were lots of them on the house walls. I sorted them as Chironomidae, but Ceratopogonidae would be an option, too. I'd really like to hear Tony Irwin's opinion...

Yes, let us hope we hear Tony Irwin's opinion...

But I think Ceratopogonidae is right.

Hi Anne, Claudia (and Phil!) - I'd rather see a specimen to give an identification, but I would say Chironomidae for these (and Claudia's) - I don't know of any ceratopogonid with such a long fore-tarsus. The "collapsed bottlebrush" antenna is typical of many ceratopogonids, but also occurs in chironomids as well (though not so commonly in my experience). I'm happy to look at a couple of male specimens if you want a more precise name. Wink

I would say Chironomidae too. Ceratopogonidae antennas have much more "hairs".. Smile

It was actually the genitalia which bother me: they look too simple to be a chironomid...but as we know, I've been wrong before !
