Hello, A very small fly captured on 13 10 2009 at Van, East Turkey about 2mm. Could its species can be identified? Many thanks Muhabbet Cesa attached the following image:  [54.36Kb] Edited by Cesa on 11-11-2009 07:54 |

By your kind comments and help on identification, I had opportunity learning about a new diptera group, Chamaemyiidae. I sincerely thank to all of you. Muhabbet |

Looks like the Leucopis palumbi you stuck in the Gallery.....unfair advantage Walter Yes, definitely Chamaemyiidae and definitely Leucopis. However, there are very very few Leucopis that could be identified to species from a photograph, particularly of a female (as is this one). And this is a typical Leucopis, so a species identification without a dissected male specimen is impossible. |
