 Hello,
Here comes a small yellow fly from my garden, seen in June of 2008. I doubt whether it is a Lauxaniid, as it has feathery aristae. This character is met in Drosophilids, but I am not familiar with them. So help is gratefully accepted!

 Many thanks, Katka - "plumicornis" is a perfect species epithet, surely pointing to the peculiar arista.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
