A lot of them on moss on partly decayed treetrunk in forrest. In the males the final part of abdomen appears to be twisted a 90 degrees. Possible to identify? Klaas attached the following image:  [128.58Kb] |

Not enough detail to be sure. The wing veins are not in focus, so can't see if there are bristles on them. Could be Bradysia, could be Scaptosciara, could be lots of things, really. By the way the genitalia are always rotated like this... |

True, actuelly the hole fly is out of focus. But in the most detailed wingpicture i have, there are small bristles visibe (0,02-0,03 mm) on the vein that ends halfway in the costa. Is this diagnostic for one or more genera? Photos taken on 21-sept With regards, Klaas Klaas attached the following image:  [105.48Kb] |

No - it would be if there were bristles on the fork. We're no further forward - sorry ! |
