Would anyone like to suggest a family for this small (3mm) fly which looks pretty distinctive?

Anthomyzidae, looks like Typhamyza bifasciata in the gallery.

It doesn't only look like Typhamyza bifasciata, IT IS. Very nice small fly, isn't it? Did you collect it in a Typha stand? Jan Willem van Zuijlen |

Hello Jan, There is a great deal of Typha in the gravel-pit site at Lincoln in the English east Midlands where it was collected. I have some volunteers who collect for me and this means that I don't always have the exact site of collection.There are some records on the National Biodiversity Gateway website from about thirty miles away but not from Lincolnshire so there is the possibility that it might be new from my county. Regards Phil Porter |
