Maybe Thricops diaphanus? (Compare acrostichals, frons, antennae.) |

Stephen R wrote: Maybe Thricops diaphanus? (Compare acrostichals, frons, antennae.) You know, that does look a really good match! I think I was comparing the leg bristles though, which on T. diaphanus I can't see the extra bristes on the hind tibia but the photos in the gallery don't show it well. Phaonia pallida does look to have these bristles, although there is only one photo in the gallery which doesn't show it very well. What do you think Stephen? I don't have any keys. http://cubits.org... |

My book does mention the 'predominantly yellow frontal vitta' of P. pallida. |

I had T. diaphanus before, and it does look to have those bristles! The abdomen has swollen since.. http://diptera.in...ost_150431 http://cubits.org... |

Thanks Stephane! It looked so different to the other one I had, all a learning experience.
