Discomyza, see the Gallery, for example http://www.dipter...hoto_id=78 (including Tony's comment).

Thanks guys . Nice, a snail predator! The only Discomyza known from Iberian Peninsula is D. incurva, but this one looks different, for example the front tarsi are of different colour. Is it possible that it could be another species?

I think to Clanoneurum cimiciforme due to the elong 3d. ant segment...

Thank you Stephane! There are no photos of this species on the net.

I felt it was not quite the same as other Discomyza I had seen, hence I did not put in the species name. My keys are still safely locked away in boxes so no way I could have checked. Should change soon, though.
