I see lots of male Anthomyiidae on the railing. This is one of them. Can he be given a name? Size: ~5mm Date: 13 June 2009 Location: On wooden railing around a pond (Helsingborg, Sweden) Thanks! lagura attached the following image:  [94.51Kb] Edited by lagura on 10-07-2009 19:49  |

Lars, jizz, my test, for Delia platura/florilega. To be sure, you have to find image with visible chaetotaxy of t3 - platura/florilega both has a full row of pv of same lenth all tibia along (about 20 setae). Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Thanks Nikita. I will keep that in mind. Forgive me for asking, but if "platura/florilega both has a full row of pv of same lenth all tibia along (about 20 setae)" how do you tell them apart?

D.florilega has a nice long dorsal hairs on mid basytarsus. Also florilega is generally smaller. Also florilega seems to my a summer fly, platura is whole year fly, but especially common in spring. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
