Similar problem like with Egle. This fly I have identified as Botanophila and also I am not sure if it is correct. Specimen also from Poland.

I study Anthomyiidae also, but on your photo i can't see: Is frontal vitta black or with yellow/orange color Is costa haired beneeth or not Is mentum of proboscis black shining or not Prealar short,long, or absent How many katepisternals Arista haired or not Tibia 2 with 2 pd and setae on other legs are not good visible Etc. I personally would soften up the fly and try to pull out the genitals and compare with the genital plates (you probable have) Joke van Erkelens  |

Nice !! Also indeed on the checklist of Poland. I could not find further information about the fly (only what's standing in Ackland key) Joke van Erkelens Edited by javanerkelens on 14-12-2009 13:49 |
