Who is that black devil - I can't find out. It is about 7mm (edit!) long. Sternites: first dull, others shiny black. Regards Maja dipdip attached the following image:  [143.16Kb] Edited by dipdip on 20-05-2008 08:42 |

so the thoracic dorsum should be "coarsely punctuated" (s.van Veen, p 56). I try hard, but I'm not sure if I do see that. The black dots are where the hairs beginn.

Dear Maja and Amalia, It's not a Cheilosia, but a species of Melanogaster! Try to look in that genus! Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Thank you Gerard! The one I can not exclude is Melanogaster parumplicata. Is that correct? Regards Maja |
