Hello! I found these 4 mm little fly near Stuttgart on May 8th, 2011 in bushes. I think she is part of the genus Chrysopilus. Can one determine her with the photos more exactly?

I would guess Platypezidae. |

Most probably Callomyia speciosa.

Hello Michal, thanks for your answer! Callomyia speciosa? Should not the halters be orange-coloured there? They are black at this fly here. Regards Andreas Andreas Haselboeck Stuttgart / Germany http://www.naturs... |

As far as I know, C. speciosa has black halteres. Michal Curator of Diptera, Entomology Department, National Museum Prague. PhD. Student, Charles University. Prague, Czech Republic. |

Hi Michal, okay, thanks a lot! There are some pictures of Callomyia speciosa in the www with orange coloured Halters... so this will be false. Regards Andreas Andreas Haselboeck Stuttgart / Germany http://www.naturs... |
