I think in this case genus is possible even without Mario. But without Marioo we need image with visible setas on tibia 2 and 3 Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

This is a male Megaselia scalaris - widespread polyphagous saprophage (tropical origin). Excellent photo! |

Mario and Proctoss, in my key forked R4+5 exclude Megaselia genus. I was sure that R4+5 do fork on this image. R4+5 really not forked? or forked R4+5 do not exclude Megaselia? Please, help! Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Nearly all Megaselia-species have forked R4+5 (there are only few exclusions). Which key is this? |

I agree with the others - Megaselia scalaris for sure.
