 More if possible, sorry about the grainy photo. The fly is from England, that's about all I know, I was asked by a friend what it was but you all know what a hopeless dipterist I am. I though Lauxaniid or Pallopterid - but somebody else suggested Heleomyzid. Anyway any and all comments will be gratefully accepted.

 Lauxaniidae, looks like Lycellia decempunctata.

Edit : Paul was faster, and certainly closer to the truth than I was ! Wink

 Meiosimyza decempunctata - Stephane was right! (It does help to have a specimen! Wink )

Pipunculidae from Mongolia! I am looking for specialist who is committed to ID these. There will be a lot of material coming from my expeditions.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
