Is an identification possible? I faced a big problem when I pinned this fly. A leg came out when I inserted the pin through the fly :-s. This problem is one of the things that I most feared whenever I thought about pinning. Do you have any advice? location: Barcelos, Portugal date: 20/09/2008   |

The scutellar bristles are strong and erect, the species is blackish and the eyes are bare, so it is a Lydella. Difficult to say more, third antennal segment is rather long, suggesting thompsoni (easy to recognize by the form of the Sturmia-spot at ventral side). Theo |

Is the spot you talk about there? Where is it located?

Hard to see much on the underside on that photo ... the "Sturmia-spot" is a dense patch of short bristles on ends of tergites 4-5 on the ventral side. |

The right spot is under the right hind tibia. But you need to get more light at the top of your pics. Theo |

I?ll show you these four images but I'm having difficulties in seeing the "Sturmia-spot". |
