I should say this one is an other member of the family. I think its a female, perhaps Megaselia spec? 27 sept 2008. Netherlands, Skoapedobbe Oosterbroek (2005) talks about 35 genera in this family! But perhaps somebody wants to give an id or a guess With regards, Klaas Klaas attached the following image:  [128.96Kb] |

All phorids, but in virtually all cases it will be impossible to ID them from photo's. Sometimes you can get to genus. Best to collect any photographed specimens if you want to have any hope of finding the species name.

Specimens in copula are Phora. It's not that difficult to ID the species, but examination of male genitalia is required; females are almost hopeless (as usual). Klaas's specimen looks like Megaselia. Edited by coffinfly on 14-11-2008 12:56 Regards, Mike |
