Oh, now I see a proclinate orbital. But no interfrontals? The anal vein does seem to get to the margin. so Anthomyiidae must be right. Edited by Stephen R on 08-07-2012 21:18 |

The anal vein is long, small hairs under the scutellum but indeed .. no interfrontals .. |

The notopleuron seems haired and the only species of Anthomyiidae with the notopleuron haired, I know, is Pegomya argyrocephala, but the description does not fit to this species, all legs should be dark and not have black shining part on thorax or abdomen...... |

Pegomya was my thought too, but there's nothing that looks close to this in the British key. Maybe some Eurasian cousin? |

I think it is a female Pegomya, perhaps related to holmgreni. There are a few rarey caught Pegomya species in the far north. I caught 2 female Pegomya holmgreni in Abisko some years ago. My specimens have all black shiny abdomens. But Griffiths (in Nearctic flies) mentions for holmgreni yellow basal segments with black posterior tergites. |

Hi everyone, and thanks for summoning me, Jari Hmm. Sorry to say, I dont know what the heck this is. Anthomyiidae, sure, but thats it. I can, however, say that I have seen a female like this in my net ... but only once I can remember. I think I have the specimen pinned somewhere. So whatever it is, it is not a very common species here. Such a characteristic look, it would be the nice to get a name for it! If nothing else helps, and I can find my specimen, I will send a leg to the BOL project to be DNA sequenced. That is, IF I can find it. Unfortunately my collection is a bit of a mess after my prolonged illness. Kahis |
