Hi I had spotted this fly in Silgueiros - Viseu on 25th August 2007... I think it could be a Spallanzania sp. No specimen collected. jorgemotalmeida attached the following image:  [189.69Kb] Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 11-01-2009 21:35 |

Again Pseudogonia rufifrons, have a look at the dark basicosta in the first pic.Moreover, the parafacialia are relatievely narrow and the frontal stripe is red (rufifrons !) not black as in Spallanzania. Thanks for the help, this I can remember next time !! Theo |

thanks, Theo. I will never forget this lesson.  The diptera world is amazing but mistakes are part of our increasing knowledge. "Admitting error clears the score and proves you wiser than before. " |

Well, Spallanzania is not an error, just a near-miss. Theo |
