Size ca. 3mm.
That fly seems to be the one that never flies, even being prompted (with a toothpick or similar stimulus). It just moves quickly and virtually with equal ease in any direction, much like a crab, trying to hide from direct light.

Typhamyza bifasciata (Anthomyzidae). The highlight of an otherwise externally quite boring family. From a Finnish point-of-view this species is a southern rarity and it has been collected here only once in the 1930's. I have never seen it while hunting for dolichopodids and believe me, I have been lookingGrin

I think Anthomyza fasciata, Anthomyzidae, but I'm not sure (never seen this fly before).

Thank you so much Jere,
I was just a few seconds late to ask could this be an Anthomyzidae Sad! I should have looked more attentively at my own tread's update (by myselfWink)!...

Paul, maybe it's worth placing it in the Gallery - no Anthomyzidae there yet. Or maybe you'd like to have it splitted in two?

Is Anthomyza fasciata old synonym of Typhamyza bifasciata? I didn't found any in Netherlands checklist. Anthomyza fasciata is from old key (Diptera of Europ. part of Russia).

I searched the Web for images of this fly and found only this Czech site (http://www.szmo.cz/virtmuz/obrkatalog.htm) with rather surreal New Year cards by J. Rohacek.

Submit pictures you want to have using this link: http://www.dipter...hp?stype=p. It may give you the opportunity to polish things up a bit or crop them in another way than they are in the forum.

Hi Dima,

Very beautifull pictures again! This is, I agree with Jere, indeed one of the more beautiful species of Anthomyzidae. In The Netherlands this species has also been rarely collected. There are three specimens in the collection of the Zoological Museum in Amsterdam, and I have seen no other specimens from The Netherlands yet. I have seen it from Germany too, where it was collected by means of pitfall traps.

And Nikita, Anthomyza fasciata is indeed a synonym of Typhamyza bifasciata.
