Pegomya is correct, but prealar is too loog for P. bicolor. Michael key leads to Pegomya steini. This need a confirmation though.

Well spotted Stephane! I think it is probably Pegomya solennis Mg., a common species feeding on Rumex. I would be reluctant to name female Pegomya's from a photograph, even with the specimen to hand and under the microscope, they can be difficult. I have separated solennis from steini in my key by the possession of only one anteroventral seta on hind tibia (both species have a long prealar seta). Of course these anteroventral setae on hind tibia could easily vary in some specimens, so that for a definite identification one would need to dissect the abdomen. |
