16 July 2011, in the mountainous forest, West Virginia USA. The fly measured 10.8 mm. Overall appearance reminds me of Ptecticus trivittatus but doesn't seem to match that species.

Wing venation not right for Stratiomyidae - I think this is Dialysis (Xylophagidae)

Thanks, Tony, a new family for me. My wife and I went to a wonderful habitat yesterday but somehow this was the only insect I found that I felt like photographing. I had hoped it was something interesting. Dialysis? That word makes my kidneys hurt. I'll change the title of the post. --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |
