Hi,

This little fly came in my kitchen last Tuesday.
It doesn't look like flies I'm used to meet here, but I'm not even able to have an idea of the family... Sad

Martha, I asked Igor Grichanov to check my last year's ID of your Sciapus.

Sciapus euzonus (Loew, 1859) [Psilopus]

** Type locality: Italy: Sicily. Palaearctic: France, Italy, Spain, Czech, Yugoslavia, ?Morocco, Algeria *

Nikita, euzonus is most probable ID for the C and S France. But there are too many species with simple legs...

Hello, I have one doubt about these Sciapus; Faune de Franceīs descriptions separate:
- S. euzonus: antennae completely yellow
- S. algirus: endarkened tip of antennae
Does anyone know if thatīs still valid?
Thanks for your atention Smile

5. Tarse 1 : article 5 blanc. (Algérie, Espagne). . .. algirus MAcQ. (Faune de France)
It is black on pictures, not white. As for my experience, 3rd segment of antenna always darker than preceding two in Sciapus (at least orange). And the colour is variable. Nevertheless, a specimen is necessary to study.

Oh sorry, with "these" Sciapus I was meaning not just the one of this post, but also another one, I didnīt explained myself clearly, I should have linked it before, sorry. Here it is the one I doubted about http://www.insect...earch.html , I was not sure about itīs tarses' colour, so i tried with the antenna, not a good character, then.
Thank you very much for your explanation.
- I edit: now I see it was also here http://www.insectariumvirtual.com/galeria/A+identificar+12-img103110.search.html
thanks
