Hi, After seeing Stephan's female, I wonder if this could be the male? Taken on 22nd June 2009, it was too high to get the wings but I got two pics of which I have cropped a closer side view, giving 3 pics. Near Lincoln UK. Janet

Not Hebecnema. Seems Helina...

Do you have a close-up of the tip of abdomen ? If sternite 5 proeminent and long haired, it could be Helina trivittata.

I can crop a closer view from the side view Stephane, that's all but I'll give it a try. |

This looks a little like a pinned specimen in the gallery of Myospila meditabunda. I'm only going on looks though, I'm probably way off! |

I found some pics of Myospila meditabunda which look very much like my fly. I might have the female too, will post that later separately. Any opinions on that? http://www.galeri...e__02.html Edited by blowave on 31-12-2009 15:48 |
