Hi, Four weeks ago I saw this small yellow fly (compare the aphid in the upper right pic for size) that looks like a mini Lauxaniid but differs from Tricholauxania in the thoracic setae and has no black marks on the abdomen tip like Sapromyza. Is Chyromyia a good idea? (Possibly not, as the shape of the antennae does not match.) These little yellow ones are really difficult for me... Many thanks for help, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [183.99Kb] Edited by Sundew on 13-06-2008 21:37 |

Ok, many thanks, but is there a genus name for that minilauxie? It deserves one... Cheers, Sundew |

Hi, it seems like Sapromyza apicalis, this species is about 3-4mm - may be smaller specimen. Greetings Katka |

Dear Katka, you made me very happy; I already didn't expect to get any more replies. Many thanks for that close guess! I know there can't be 100% certainty from a photo, but I highly appreciate your expert opinion. Sundew |

I am far from a lauxanid expert, but I agree with Katerina's opinion.
