@Theo, is there only one species of Platystoma in Italy? @Pierre, I'll just wait until ID is certain. I have a few other seminationis pictures waiting, too. Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |

Hi Pierre, Quite right, it's definitely not P. seminationis. I'm not sure which of the others it is, but it looks very much like P. lugubre, though I don't have all species to compare it with. Best wishes, John |

I think the spots on the posterior edge of the wing are too distinct for Platystoma lugubre. I think Platystoma gemmationis is more likely.
