Have search and I have attemted to follow the key in my book, but I can't found out which it is. So difficult to find right in diptera species. Can it be a sort of Micropezidae?  Picture is taken in Hälsingland in Sweden 7th of july 2010, I found it in the dog pool. ankiengstrom attached the following image:  [47.69Kb] Edited by ankiengstrom on 11-03-2011 18:51 Anki http://engstromsf... |

Oh thank you for you quick reply, I will check that, took a quick look and it's plenty of them so I think it will be there somewhere. have a nice evening I have found it, it must be Platypalpus major. Thanks for your help.

In my opinion P. major usually is paler in leg colour and colour of dust on the body.

Yes, I think you have right, the picture I found on the webb has little more pale legs. I was littel to quick to give it name there. I found a picture here on diptera on a P. maculipes, http://www.dipter...to_id=4744 can it was that I have on my image? But the yellow on the abnormen on my fly is not on that picture but maybe my picture is a female?

Even in our little Netherlands we have 56 species of Platypalpus recorded, so I think you should have to be satisfied with Platypalpus spec. from photo |
