Hello ! One of my recent post (30-07-2008 16:55) I showed a Geomyza sp. from Hungary. That was photographed in humid conditions near a river. Jan Willem's idea was a Geomyza martineki, but not sure. Today I found another Geomyza specimen, it looks like the same fly for me. I hope it is a better shot than in July. The habitat is different anyway: a loessal hillside with dry steppe vegetation (Bromus erectus, Aster amellus, Peucedanum alsaticum etc,), altough the grass was dewy. Size: ~5-7mm; Locality: NW-Hungary Greetings, David jaurinum attached the following image:  [164.71Kb] |

This looks like Geomyza venusta to me. I suppose you didn't collect the specimen!? If you did you can send it to me so I can make sure that it is indeed G. venusta. The size of this specimen is almost certainly much smaller than 5-7 mm. More like 3-4 mm.

Thank you very much, Jan. You are right, its size was smaller than I valued. Unfortunately this specimen had not been collected. Greetings, David Edited by jaurinum on 08-10-2008 18:16 |
