Today, I found some of these one a breakwater at Wenduine, Belgium. Any help with family/genus/species is greatly appreciated. More pictures and specimen available if needed (I'll try to post some better pictures tomorrow). Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot, Jorge! Probably, it's H. ustulata, the only species known at our coast. I found this thread on Helcomyza and when I look at those pictures... Beautiful! |

Helcomyza ustulata is the only species. This is one of my favourite flies !

there is anoither H. mediterranea for iberian countries, at least. In North really it seems to be more easy being only one species. |

Oh, you're right Jorge ! I ignored this. Fauna Europea is our friend (seems only recorded from Italy according to FE).

So you are nor of the option that it should be in Dryomyzidae? |

Do you mean that Helcomyzidae is wrong and that my fly belongs to Dryomyzidae or are you saying that Helcomyzidae should be included in Dryomyzidae? I read that they are probably closer to Coelopidae.

It's all a matter of opinion, I was wondering where forum members stood on the subject? |
