Yes, the smooth bent of vein M suggests Muscidae. A female Dasyphora sp.

thank you Stephane and Theo, Yes, I was thinking about Muscidae, but I could not see it's postsuteral bristles clearly.. Looking for a second time, I can see there are some bristles missing there. If this is a Dasyphora sp., it will be Dasyphora albofasciata (Macquart in Webb & Berthelot, 1839) This is the only Dayphora sp. in the Netherlands (due to the Dutch speciesindex): http://www.nederlandsesoorten.nl/get?site=nlsr&view=nlsr&page_alias=conceptcard&cid=0AHCYFBIJTYL&q=Dasyphora Am I right? or am I right?

No, it is not Dasyphora albofasciata (no presut ac). It's either D. penicillata either D. pratorum.

Thanks Stephane! The index must be incomplete I think..  I will call it Dasyphora sp. and put the option D. penicillata either D. pratorum in the footnoot. Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |
