Thank you Stephen I'll see how that pans out with the key. I need some named specimens as I'm finding the key pretty hard going as a beginner with this family. Regards Phil Porter Edited by philporter on 20-01-2012 21:16 |

For male Hylemya with tibia yellowish or ochre brown: Hylemya vagans: with upper occiput beneath postoculars bare Hylemya urbica / variata: with upper occiput beneath postoculars setulose Hylemya urbica: longest rays of arista barely as long as width of postpedicel + frons at narrowest past more than half as wide as outer distance between posterior ocelli Hylemya variata: longest ray af arista distinctly longer than width of postpedicel + frons at narrowest part at the most half as wide as outer distance between posterior ocelli (with thanks to V. Michelsen, from his paper about Hylemya) The tibia of H. urbica/variata can differ between yellowish/brown, to very dark / brown |
