Hello Wolfgang,

The first one belongs to the family Heleomyzidae. You could change the subject to attract the attention of the heleomyzid-specialists.

Hi Wolfi and Andrzej,
I think Suillia affinis, because antenae are not darkened enough, and there are 30-30 seta at the scutellum.

Hi !,
and what about the supracervical setulae ?
Dark or yellow :-) ?
P.S.
The number of scutellar hairs is not a good character for ID to the species level !

Hi,
this diagnostic follows Papps' key. I have seen plenty of specimen of both species and I am sure, that this diagnostic mark is correct and useful.

Dear Katerina.
You wrote: ... 30-30 seta at the scutellum! and plenty....

For a while I verified five specimens , one from Poland, two from Russia and two from Turkey !.
The number of setulae varied from 26-33 on each of sides !.
Did you translate and verify the Papp key correctly ?

Best wishes,
Andrzej


P.S.
I awas not convinced if it was S. umbratica but I cannot agree with your arguments !
