Hi to all! I found this wonderful photo in one of russian sites devoted to photoequipment. Unfortunately I don't know where exactly this photo was taken, probably in European part of Russia. http://club.foto....0289_2.jpg Is it possible to try to determinate this fly? I would be very grateful!  Nikolai Edited by Nikolai Morozov on 07-07-2010 11:27 |

The photo's nice. However, it does not fit descriptions of any known species of Dorycera. Amnon Freidberg and his PhD student Hanan Ackerman started a revision some 12 years ago, but no results have been ever publshed. Perhaps one of their undescribed species, which are numerous in Turkey.

Hehehe))) Valery, you're right! I looked that site carefully and found the location - apparently this is Israel, which is close to Turkey. |

I am unaware about Israeli new species. However, the locality facilitates ID in the case most key characters are not visible. I also took a look at our collection: it fits Dorycera judaea Hendel, 1908 in its abdomen broad yellowish grey microtrichose areas, so that is the answer. Now, you can change the topic to "Ulidiidae: Dorycera judaea" However, the foto can be copyrighted, and I strongly insist you to change picture into a link in this case.
