16th April this year, grassland/scrub next to freshwater lake. The genitalia seem a very good match for fugax, though it does seem to have two rather than the usual one pre-sutural acrostichal.

All my B.fugax have 2 stronger acro. (second one bit stronger as first one) And according to Hennig...also description with 2 strong acro. B.fugax seems right! Joke van Erkelens

Thanks Joke. I guessed there must be some variation as everything else fitted well. |

Indeed confusing... Key to genera of British Anthomyiidae M.Ackland : "1 pair of strong presutural acrostichal setae followed by multiserial fine hairs on either side of suture" I think he means that just one pair is very strong and makes no mention about the pair before....... Joke
