Not an Empis here but a Rhamphomyia, in my opinion it could be R. sulcatella. |

Why sulcatella and not one of the other species in the sulcata group?

Thank you for your reaction KWQ and Paul, So Rhamphomyia sulcata is also a possibility? Then I would place this as a Rhamphomyia cf. sulcata in my album. greeting robert, Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 03-05-2010 22:22 Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

Just a hasty intuition, because sulcatella is the most common one of this complex in Finland and the most familiar to me, which was a bad enough reason to suggest anything ... Now as you say, it seems to lack the typical hairs in the upper part of the genital complex, so it probably is some other species in the group. |

And of course I also mixed some names, the common Finnish species I meant is sulcatina and sulcatella is unknown in Finland. What a bunch of names! |
