I don't know this chaetotaxy from Muscidae legs. I think it is an Anthomyiidae, and it looks well to this one. Just a guess... Stephane. |

What about Zaphne divisa - very phaonia-looking Anthomyiid

It is not Hydrophoria divisa, which does not have an anteroventral setae on mid tibia, and yellowish tibiae. Presumably the whitish horizontal line on fore tibia is a posteroventral bristle catching the light, in which case I know of no anthomyiid with this very long bristle; likewise the long posterior seta on hind tibia is unusual. |

Ok, thank You. Maybe I will add this picture to the endless "strange creatures" list. As far the specimen is not collected and I have only this picture, it may be impossible to get further. Nice looking fly anyway Jari |
