Could this 5 mm long female be a Therevidae? What genus and perhaps species is this? Photo from Norasundet, Ångermanland, Sweden 62,53N 18,06E 20 may 2009 Thanks for your help in advance Regards Kurt Holmqvist kurt attached the following image:  [152.96Kb] Edited by kurt on 27-05-2009 21:46 |

Rhamphomyia (Megacyttarus) female. The wing venation is as it is in nodipes, but that species has two dark markings on the wing posteriorly. Now, this specimen might be a teneral and the markings may not have developed completely yet. On the other hand, there is one Scandinavian species I do not have in my keys: gufitar (recorded from Finland). I cannot check that one atm.

I checked in another book and gufitar has other wing venation. The same book mentions nodipes as having no markings in the wing in the text but showing them in the illustration. Perhaps some variation there?
