Dear Dick,

Considering the restricted number of Xanthochlorus in The Netherlands, and considering the coloration of the mesonotum, there is a fair chance that you are dealing with Xanthochlorus ornatus. This is the only one known from The Netherlands with a largely darkened mesonotum.

Check Chandler, P.J. & Negrobov, O.P. (2008) The British species of Xanthochlorus Loew, 1857 (Diptera, Dolichopodidae), with description of two new species. Dipterists Digest 15: 29-40.

Cheers,
Marc

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.
