 Hello,

this ~7-8mm fly is from last april from a larger valley in south east Sicily. Does it belong to the family Hybotidae? Anything else possible?

Thanks,
Michael

 Brachystoma?

It can't be Hybotidae because R4+5 is forked.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
