I think a rather fresh specimen of Empis stercorea.

Ah, you might yourself have said: Empis scutellata. (Far too rare in Holland.) Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |

Thank-you gentlemen. I have submitted the images to the gallery. Do either of you have a key to this genus that you could e-mail to me? Chris |

Dear Chris, To identify British Empis you could use Collin's British flies (Empididae). I could add that Chvala published a key to British species of Empis s. str. Let me know if you have problems to obtain these papers ? I will help you. All the best, Igor  |

Chvala's Fauna Entomologica Scandinavica 1994 handbook about Empis also includes all British species but it costs a small fortune...

I have photocopy of Collin's chapter on Empididae, it takes you to genus, but no further. I could take a copy of this copy for you, Chris, and put it in the post to you, if that would be a help. all the best, Sue |
