Based on the eye-pattern, it could be Phosphuga demandata in the small family of Uliidae. Theo Zeegers |

Theo may be right, but my guess would have been Lauxaniidae! Jan Willem |

for this shape of antenna in Lauxaniidae, cf my post at http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=360 this shape has evolved in several families.. but now i forgot in what other fly family i've seen it before.. |

ah, right, now i remember: in Loxocera, Psilidae you see a similarly elongated 3rd antenna segment: http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=419 how useful this forum is! louis |

I also 'vote' for Lauxaniidae. The long 3rd segment of antenna is typical for Lauxania, so my guess is the most common species of this genus, L. cylindricornis. There's a picture of this fly in an old thread: http://www.dipter...ead_id=360 Edited by Kahis on 21-06-2005 07:28 |
