hi flyforum, On leafes of Urtica dioica, I got this tiny fly. The fly feels like Coenosia sp. to me.. It this correct? Further identification isn't possible? If needed, I have other views. greeting Robert Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [146.13Kb] Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

If there are 3 dorsocentral postsutural setae, it should be an Anthomyiid... |

Muscidae also have 3 post dc, like Conosia. And Coenosia it is, a male, I think Coenosia mollicula if the squamae are of equally size.

No rule without exception... How many (of the common) Muscids have 3 setae, is it only the Coenosia group? I found the number a convenient character to tell Muscids and Anthos apart! |
