Thank you Nikita! We don't have nay Norellia sp. in the gallery, maybe I can upload these if Paul wants them. I found records of Norellia spinipes further south than me, but I am not much further north adn do have many unusual species of anything here! http://www.ukflym...nipes.html It seems that Norellia pseudonarcissi is also Cordylura spinipes, same fly? I had a site with British records and synonyms once but lost it. http://hbs.bishop...ophag.html I found a pic of N. spinipes, I guess mine will have to remain as Norellia sp.  http://www.pbase....e/94896437 Janet |

Dear Janet, 1. It is Norellia in sense of Andrey Ozerov, who regards Norellia and Norellisoma as same genus. 2. I don't think it is image for Gallery - too few characters are visible and we haven't precise ID Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
