I just cannot key this Platypezidae out, so I must be making a fundamental mistake somewhere. To help me along, can anyone say which genus this fly is? Male and female featured - both emerged from some fungus I have kept. Emerged 20 July 2008. Shropshire, UK (fungus collected in May 08). conopid attached the following image:  [34.42Kb] Edited by conopid on 20-07-2008 23:23 Nigel Jones, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom |

Looks like Seri obscuripennis to me. Michal PS: Was the fungus some Polyporus? Curator of Diptera, Entomology Department, National Museum Prague. PhD. Student, Charles University. Prague, Czech Republic. |

Hello Michal, Yes, you are absolutely correct. I did eventually manage to determine this one and it was indeed Seri obscuripennis. Over thirty individuals emerged from a single Polyporus badius fruit body. Nigel Jones, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom |
