Calyptrate, either Muscidae or Anthomyiidae.

Why not a small Scathophagidae? I think I posted this or a similar species, but did never get a response.

Conclusion: Cinochira atra is much more common than it was thought |

Interesting. I took this photo a week earlier. Same place. Is it also a C. atra? lagura attached the following image:  [125.44Kb] |

Great photos!  I haven't seen it here either and UK records are very scarce - probably due to its small size

Thanks! Yes, it's small. I wonder how many times I have walked past it. Oh well, doesn't matter now!

Tell me: did you find these C. atra in shadowy places? |

Well, yes and no. It's a small valley with a creek and lots of high decideous trees. Some parts are sunny and some shadowy. Which depends on the time of day. As I recall these two where both in a sort of semi shadowed part of the wooden railing. There is also quite a lot of people walking, or jogging, around, or feeding the ducks I've seen lots of different flies there, practically everything from tiny Chloropids to big Asilidaes

The specimen I have is from a malaise trap in a lakeshore forest, likely matching the description! Jaakko |

Here is a photo (taken today) of a part of the area I described above. The latest C. atra was found not too far from that little hut (or whatever it's called) and on the same side.

this fits precisely the place where I saw C. atra. Here the famous Buçaco mountain. It has an unique flora (like big arboreal ferns - here in the photo you see the small ones.) . And I saw the fly in the upperside of the photo - about 100 m from it. On the table. Go here: http://farm1.stat...5931_b.jpg (photo is not mine) |
