Fantastic, but I prefer the legs of Campsicnemus magius, which make the cover illustration of "A dipterist's handbook, 2nd edition".

1. The data for new record of D. sagittarius is in: http://www.diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=7954 2. Stephane, I collected 2 males of C. magius in Morocco. My test, this Dolichopus is even more unusual. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Dolichopus pulchrimanus has better legs: the forked fore tarsi are contrasting black and white rather than plain yellow. It lacks the clubbed antenna, however. |

Certainly, American Dolis are the most frightful flies Dear friends, if you prefer terrible Doli forelegs, I can show you one more Campsicnemus foretarsus from Russia Igor Grichanov attached the following image:  [53.94Kb] Igor Grichanov |

As for me, I prefer elegant foretarsus like this African Hercostomus

BTW, one of the most striking Doli wing was recently discovered and published by Capellari from Brazil (this is a part of original picture)
