Hello,
I found this little fly with 6 dark spots in 2 rows on Verbascum. Suillia? Which is the right genus? Is species ID possible?
Thank you, Marion

Lauxaniidae for sure. My guess is Sapromyza, but species distinction is a bit difficult (see http://www.dipter...mp;pid=109.

Thank you very much for identification and the link, Sara and Sundew.
Especially the last fly in the linked thread looks like my posted one.
Best regards, Marion

It looks like Sapromyzosoma cf. quadripunctata. This species has only 4 spots, but according to my experience number of spots sometimes is variable.
