Neomyia cornicina (1 pair of presutural acrostichals and 3 postsutural dorsocentrals). For Neomyia viridescens you shouldn't have any presut. acr and 4 post dc. Stephane. |

Thanks Stephane Will at least I got the Neomyia bit right, which for me is a small victory. This one is unrecorded previously in Shetland, the only one mentioned on my checklist is Orthellia viridis Weid. which I think from a posting last year is the old name for Neomyia viridescens?? which I thought might have been this fly. Even better to be a different one  Regards Roger Edited by Roger Thomason on 21-08-2009 22:06 |

Hi Roger, I found a couple of Neomyia recently so had to sort through the names myself in trying to identify them. According to the the UK checklist (available online at Dipterists forum), N.viridis Wiedemann is a synonym of Neomyia cornicina - unless of course things are more complicated than I realise. Tim |

Tim Thanks Tim I checked the Diptrists forum and note there are 2 Syntypes from Shetland included also; Neomyia fennica Frey 1909 (Chandler 1998) and Psueudopyrellia fennica Frey 1909 (Chandler 1998) so is it any wonder I got it wrong.  Regards a confused Roger . |
